With many other dainties. At Messina,

Near to the Faro, are pelorian conchs,

Nor are those bad you find near Ephesos;

For Tethyan oysters, go to Chalcedon;

But for the Heralds, may Zeus overwhelm them

Both in the sea and in the agora!

Aye, all except my old friend Agathon,

Who in the midst of Lesbian vineyards dwells. —J. A. St. John.
