In the last six verses I need a comma somewhere to understand the ful meaning.Which is the subject of must condemn and know//After dream 7th v. it's needed for sure a comma//after soul too.//After weep too.Had I fully understood it, I would to translate it too.//Instead of dry would it not be better dried, since an and is used?
