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!
