Drink not the third glass, which thou canst not tame When once it is within thee; but before Mayst rule it as thou list, and pour the shame which it will pour to thee, upon the floor. It is most just to throw that on the ground, Which would throw me there, if I kept the round.
He that is drunken may his Mother kill, lie with his Sister; he hath lost the Reins; Is outlawed by himself: all kind of ill did with the liquor slide into the veins. The Drunkard forfeits Man, and doth devest All worldly right, save what he has by Beast.

Shall I to please another's wine-sprung mind, lose all my own? God has given me a measure Short of his Can, and Body: must I find a pain in that wherein he finds a pleasure? Stay at the third glass; if thou lose thy hold, Then thou art modest, but the wine grows bold.
