Just as if youth stops passing, all the same!

"One last resource is left us—poetry!

'Vindicate nature, prove Plataian help,

Turn out, a thousand strong, all right and tight,

To save Sense, poet! Bang the sophist-brood

Would cheat man out of wholesome sustenance

By swearing wine is water, honey—gall,

Saperdion—the Empousa! Panic-smit,

Our juveniles abstain from Sense and starve:

Be yours to disenchant them! Change things back!
