Dear David,
I just checked out Psalm 75:6 as well as Psalm 75 in its entirety. The psalm’s “cup” imagery brought to mind the final scene of Hamlet whose poisoned “cup” imagery I had not been able to place in context.
On revisiting earlier work on the Hamlet scene, the non-mention of “the North” in verse 75:6 and the curious mention of “promotion” immediately made sense in the context of Saga-Shakespeare Myth on the working assumption that “the North” in question referred to Snorri Sturluson’s Reykjaholt estate, where he was “murdered” on the night of autumnal equinox, 23 September 1241:
I. Psalm 75.6, KJB, 1611

GrassConceals And Rain Blots Out
In the Père-Lachaise cemetery, in the neighborhood of the potters’ field, far from the elegant quarter of that city of sepulchers, far from all those fantastic tombs that display in presence of eternity the hideous fashions of death, in a deserted corner, beside an old wall, beneath a great yew on which the bindweed climbs, among the dog-grass and the mosses, there is a stone. This stone is exempt no more than the rest from the leprosy of time, from the mold, the lichen, and the birds’ droppings. The air turns it black, the water green. It is near no path, and people do not like to go in that direction, because the grass is high, and they would wet their feet. All around there is a rustling of wild oats. In spring, the linnets come to sing in the tree.
This stone is entirely blank. The only thought in cutting it was of the essentials of the grave, and there was no other care than to make this stone long enough and narrow enough to cover a man.
No name can be read there.
Only many years ago, a hand wrote on it in pencil these four lines, which have gradually become illegible under the rain and the dust, and are probably gone by now:
23994 = Il dort. Quoique le sort fût pour lui bien étrange.
22982 = Il vivait. Il mourut quand il n’eut plus son ange.
15117 = La chose simplement d’elle-même arriva,
19824 = Comme la nuit se fait lorsque le jour s’en va.
81917
He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tried,
He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.
It happened calmly, on its own,
The way night comes when day is done.
