Unused to the wine, or the shame that it brings,
And quite self-important, but (innocent things)
How could they when older become very sage
If they hadn’t learned something at that early age?
The flood was declining at noon-time that day,
And danger seemed held in abeyance away.
The clouds rolled away, and the afternoon sun
Looked down with a smile that was brim-full of fun.
The dancers held councils and hoped for the best
Till all were more tranquil and much less distressed,
