paksa(TB)/minum terpaksa(TL) <0597> [none did compel.] Every person drank what he pleased. Among the Greeks, however, each guest was obliged to keep the round, or leave the company: hence the proverb [E pithi, e apithi,] Drink, or begone. Mr. Herbert, in his poem entitled "The Church Porch," has severely reprobated this vile custom. In Britain, however, this demoralizing custom is now almost destroyed, and a new era of social pleasure is arising, by temperate habits, increased domestic comforts, and the spread of gospel truths. bentara(TB)/orang besar-besar(TL) <07227> [the officers.] |
ratu(TB)/permaisuri(TL) <04436> [the queen.] |
