- Wine's a lecherous thing, and drunkenness brings nothing but total misery.
- Do you drunks realize how your faces are all disfigured! Your breath stinks, and it's unpleasant to embrace you. Your drunken wheezing nose seems to be saying "Sampson! Sampson!"
- And yet, God knows, Sampson never drank wine.
- You fall down like you're a stuck pig.
- You lose track of your speech and you have no control over what comes out of your mouth. Drunkenness absolutely kills any discretion or wit. Drunks can't keep secrets.
- So keep away from the white and red, and especially from the white wine produced in Lepe, sold on Fish Street or in Cheapside. It's the worst.
- This wine from Spain gets mixed with other wines that happen to be growing nearby. It's so strong that, when a man has three cups of it, he believes he's at home in Cheapside but finds himself in Lepe, in Spain, and not at Rochelle or Bourdeaux.
- Then he definitely says "Sampson! Sampson!"
