Strength hid in the weakling!

What bowl-shape hast there,

Thus laughingly proffered? A gift to our shrine?

Thanks—worsted in argument! Not so? Declare

Its purpose!

Apol. I proffer earth's product, not mine.

Taste, try, and approve Man's invention of—Wine!


The Fates. We feeding suck honeycombs.

Apol. Sustenance meagre!
