Tim. And now

His soldiers rove throughout the city, while

The people lean from walls like branching trees

And shake a crop of blessings.

Asc. Kisses too!

E'en in the streets the women set their tables,

And from their wreath�d urns pour Cretan wine

For Dion's men.

Tim. What says my lord Speusippus?

The only sour-face in all Syracuse.
