31 Do not look on the wine when it1 is red,
When it sparkles in the cup,
When it swirls around smoothly;
When it sparkles in the cup,
When it swirls around smoothly;
34 Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the1 midst of the sea,
Or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying:
Or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying:
35 “Theya have struck me, but I was not hurt;
They have beaten me, but I did not feel it.
When shall bI awake, that I may seek another drink?”
They have beaten me, but I did not feel it.
When shall bI awake, that I may seek another drink?”
