Proverbs 23:33

Thine eyes shall behold strange women - Evil concupiscence is inseparable from drunkenness. Mr. Herbert shows these effects well: -

He that is drunken may his mother kill,

Big with his sister: he hath lost the reins;

Is outlawed by himself. All kinds of ill

Did, with his liquor, slide into his veins.

The drunkard forfeits man; and doth divest

All worldly right, save what he hath by beast.

Herbert' s Poems - The Church Porch.
