“They who drink the juice of the Ethiopian herb Ophiusa imagine that they see serpents and horrors everywhere; and those who drink deep of pride, envy, ambition, hatred, will see harm and shame in everyone they look upon. The first can only be cured by drinking palm wine, and so I say of these latter: Drink freely of the sacred wine of love, and it will cure you of the evil tempers which lead you to these perverse judgments.”
