That 's your exchange? O Muse of Megara!

Advise the fools 'Feed babe on weasel-lap

For wild-boar's marrow, Cheiron's hero-pap,

And rear, for man—Ariphrades, mayhap!'

Yes, my Balaustion, yes, my Euthukles,

That 's your exchange,—who, foreigners in fact

And fancy, would impose your squeamishness

On sturdy health, and substitute such brat

For the right offspring of us Rocky Ones,

Because babe kicks the cradle,—crows, not mewls!
