On the male-Kirké and her swinish crew,—
Platon,—so others call the youth we love,—
Sends your performance to the curious king—
'Do you desire to know Athenai's knack
At turning seriousness to pleasantry?
Read this! One Aristullos means myself.
The author is indeed a merry grig!'
Nay, it would seem as if yourself were bent
On laying down the law, 'Tell lies I must—
Aforethought and of purpose, no mistake!'
