Chrysanthus.
No.
Since she lets the plough and harrow
Tear its bosom, and a goddess
Would not have her frame so mangled.
Daria.
Tell me, is not Saturn time?
Chrysanthus.
He is not, though he dispatcheth
All the children he gives birth to;
To a god no crimes should happen.
Daria.
Is not Venus the air?
Chrysanthus.
Much less,
Since they say that she was fashioned
From the foam, and foam, we know,
Cannot from the air be gathered.
Daria.
Is not Neptune the sea?
