who are champions at pouring beer,^(A)

the tail is the prophet, the one teaching lies.^(B)

butchering of cattle, slaughtering of sheep and goats,
eating of meat, and drinking of wine –
‘Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die! ’^(A)

¹² ‘Come, let me get some wine,
let’s guzzle some beer;
and tomorrow will be like today,
only far better! ’^(A)

¹¹ Promiscuity,^(A) wine, and new wine
take away one’s understanding.^(B)
