LV.

You know, my friends, with what a brave Carouse I made a Second Marriage in my house; Divorced old barren Reason from my Bed, And took the Daughter of the Vine to Spouse.

This quatrain is translated from C. 175.

I will fill a one-maund goblet with wine, I will enrich myself with two half-maunds of wine: First I will thrice pronounce the divorce from learning and faith,[64] And then I will take the daughter of the vine[65] to spouse.
