I sought to give myself unto wine To gratify myself with delicious meats and drinks; yet acquainting, &c. Yet resolving to use my wisdom, that I might try whether I could not arrive at satisfaction, by mixing wine and wisdom together. To lay hold on folly, &c. To pursue sensual pleasure, which was my folly; till I might see, &c. Till I might find out the true way to contentment and satisfaction, during this mortal life.
