Sol 5.6

  1. To drink wine without song

    is like water set apart from a vessel,

  2. or like a man, yearning,

    who, when he sets out at dawn, is bereft of his hopes.

  3. And more grievous than drinking wi—

    —ne without a drinking companion or song

  4. is drinking wine in silence,

    for fear of one’s children.
