Drinking wine before eating harms the body;
Drinking wine before eating
And it brings the soul extreme dejection and heaviness.
Weighs down the body and clouds the mind

“Eat and drink” is a command prescribing the order of drinking it;
"Eat and drink," the order's clear enough-
And do not drink tawny wine except after eating.
Drink only after you have eaten enough
