Dost thou not see how filthy Drunkenness
Do'st thou not see how filthy Drunkenness
Does reign in City, and in Villages?
Does raign in City, and in Villages?
Some reel and wallow in the street, like Swine,
Whilst others boast their strength in drinking Wine:
Although to such, God doth denounce a Curse,
They mind it not, but still grow worse and worse.
