Cyclops: I hate the wine-skin, but the liquor we have here I love.

Odysseus: Stay, then, Cyclops; drink and be merry.

Cyclops: Must I not give my brethren a share in this liquor?

Odysseus: No, keep it thyself and thou wilt appear of more honour.

Cyclops: Give it my friends and I shall appear of more use.

Odysseus: Revelling is apt to end in blows, abuse, and strife.

Cyclops: I may be drunk, but no man will lay hands on me for all that.

Odysseus: Better stay at home, my friend, after a carouse.

Cyclops: Who loves not revelling then is but a simpleton.
