ULYSSES:
Know’st thou what thou must do to aid us hence?
SILENUS:
I know not: we will help you all we can. _125
ULYSSES:
Provide us food, of which we are in want.
SILENUS:
Here is not anything, as I said, but meat.
ULYSSES:
But meat is a sweet remedy for hunger.
SILENUS:
Cow’s milk there is, and store of curdled cheese.
ULYSSES:
Bring out:—I would see all before I bargain. _130
SILENUS:
But how much gold will you engage to give?
ULYSSES:
I bring no gold, but Bacchic juice.
SILENUS:
Oh, joy!
Tis long since these dry lips were wet with wine.
