A PURE AND WHOLESOME DRINK

26  THE SEAL OF IT WILL BE MUSK AND FOR THIS LET ASPIRE
ALL  OF THOSE WHO WISH TO ASPIRE

27  IT WILL BE MIXED WITH HEAVENLY WATER

28  A SPRING FROM THE WATERS 
WHERE THOSE WHO ARE NEAREST TO GOD ARE THE DRINKERS

29  SURELY THOSE WHO ARE GUILTY

30  WHEN THEY PASSED BY THEM WINKED AT EACH OTHER IN MOCKERY 

31  AND UPON THEIR RETURNING
TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE THEY WOULD RETURN JESTING

32  AND WHENEVER THEY SAW THEM THEY WOULD SAY 
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE TRULY ASTRAY

33  BUT NOT KEEPERS OVER THEM WERE THEY

34  BUT ON THIS DAY THE BELIEVERS 
WILL LAUGH AT THE DISBELIEVERS
