I would to God I were quenched and fed / As in my youth
From the flask of song, and the good bread / Of beauty richer than truth.
The anguish of the world is on my tongue.
My bowl is filled to the brim with it; there is more than I can eat.
Happy are the toothless old and the toothless young, / That cannot rend this meat.
