That true child-lover, Attic Diocles.

Around his gravestone with the first spring-breeze

Flock the bairns all, to win the kissing-prize:

And whoso sweetliest lip to lip applies

Goes crown-clad home to its mother. Blest is he

Who in such strife is named the referee:

To brightfaced Ganymede full oft he'll cry

To lend his lip the potencies that lie

Within that stone with which the usurers

Detect base metal, and which never errs.
