Cyril. Are you indeed that Lady Psyche, who
At children’s parties drove the conjurer wild,
Explaining all his tricks before he did them?
Hilar. Are you that learned little Psyche, who
At dinner parties brought into dessert
Would tackle visitors with “you don’t know
Who first determined longitude—I do—
Hipparchus ’twas, B.C. one sixty three!”
Are you indeed that little Psyche then?
Psyche. That small phenomenon in truth am I!
