Odysseus: But whoso stays at home, when drunk, is wise.

Cyclops: What shall we do, Silenus? art minded to stay?

Silenus: That I am; for what need have we of others to share our drink,
Cyclops?

Cyclops: Well, truly the turf is soft as down with its fresh flowering
plants.

Silenus: (seating himself) Aye, and 'tis pleasant drinking in the
warm sunshine. Come, let me see thee stretch thy carcase on the ground.

Cyclops: (sitting down) There then Why art thou putting the mixing-bowl
behind me?

Silenus: That no one passing by may upset it.
