The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. |
A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, but to a hungry, soul every bitter thing is sweet. |
A sated man (soul) loathes (tramples on) honey, but to a famished man any bitter thing is sweet. |
He who is full loathes honey, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet. |
He who is satiated [with sensual pleasures] loathes and treads underfoot a honeycomb, but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. |
