I am learned, you see: Foecundi calices quem non fecere disertum?
We poor innocents drink but too much without thirst.

Not I truly, who am a sinner, for I never drink without thirst, either present or future.

To prevent it, as you know, I drink for the thirst to come.

I drink eternally.

This is to me an eternity of drinking, and drinking of eternity.
