'The hog he braved Athene.' As for the kid, 'tis there:
You stake a lamb against him—that fat one—if you dare.
LACON.
Fox! were that fair for either? At shearing who'd prefer
Horsehair to wool? or when the goat stood handy, suffer her
To nurse her firstling, and himself go milk a blatant cur?

The same who deemed his hornet's-buzz the true cicala's note,
And braved—like you—his better. And so forsooth you vote
My kid a trifle? Then come on, fellow! I stake the goat.
