I'll feign strange throbbings in my head and feet

To anguish her—as I am anguished now."

O Cyclops, Cyclops, where are flown thy wits?

Go plait rush-baskets, lop the olive-boughs

To feed thy lambkins—'twere the shrewder part.

Chase not the recreant, milk the willing ewe:

The world hath Galateas fairer yet.

"—Many a fair damsel bids me sport with her

The livelong night, and smiles if I give ear.

On land at least I still am somebody."
