Here men were drunk like water, burnt like wood.

And evil, the breast’s star of hope
Were rendered into soap.”

For the grapes’ sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost
For the grapes’ sake along the wall.”

They in the sea being burnt, they in the burnt ship drown’d.”
