עָרֹ֧ךְ הַשֻּׁלְחָ֛ן צָפֹ֥ה הַצָּפִ֖ית אָכ֣וֹל שָׁתֹ֑ה ק֥וּמוּ הַשָּׂרִ֖ים מִשְׁח֥וּ מָגֵֽן׃ (פ)
Man rüstet die Tafel — [es wäre aber besser], ihr ordnetet die Reihen [zur Schlacht]; man schmaust, zecht — auf ihr Fürsten, salbet den Schild [zum Kampf].

The arrangements of the feast necessitate perhaps the introduction of song and music.
