See ye these heart-wounds, whence and how they came?

Yea, when it sleeps, the mind is bright with eyes;[[483]]

But in the day it is man's lot to lack

All true discernment. Many a gift of mine

Have ye lapped up, libations pure from wine,[[484]]

And soothing rites that shut out drunken mirth;

And I dread banquets of the night would offer

On altar-hearth, at hour no God might share.

And lo! all this is trampled under foot.
