Gradations of Drunkenness.— There is a rabbinical tradition r* 1 lated bf Fahricins, that when Noali planted vine, Satan attended and sacrificed a sheep, a lion, an ape, and a sow. These animals were t<> symbolize the gradation* or ebriety. When a mart begins to drink he is meek and ignorant as the lamb; then becomes bold as the lion; his courage if soon transformed into the foolishness of the ape; and at last he wallows in the mire like the sow.— Wartoris Dissertation on the Gesta Romanomm.
