Leader: Best of friends, would we might see that day, escaping the
godless Cyclops!

Odysseus: Hear then how I will requite this vile monster and rescue
you from thraldom.

Leader: Tell me how; no note of Asiatic lyre would sound more sweetly
in our ears than news of the Cyclops' death.

Odysseus: Delighted with this liquor of the Bacchic god, he fain would
go a-reveling with his brethren.

Leader: I understand; thy purpose is to seize and slay him in the
thickets when clone, or push him down a precipice.

Odysseus: Not at all; my plan is fraught with subtlety.

Leader: What then? Truly we have long heard of thy cleverness.
