None but the fool the wine of earth doth quaff, none but the wise the wine of life do draw.
[31] All that this life is, is the sum total of what the preceding one was.

Here I am compelled to write about another form of vice; some endure it in its legal form whilst others are slaves to a nameless form;
Never Brother, never Friend, wreck thy life on the shoals of shame, nor cast thy virtue in the dust.
No two wrongs will one right make, no hands in prayer can a foul deed change, or a virtue make!
Ah, this is the bitter cup of life and whosoever from it drinks, into the dust descends. Beware! beware!!
