Cyclops: Nay, but thy purpose is to drink upon the sly; set it between
us. (To Odysseus) Now tell me, stranger, by what name to call thee.
(Silenus is drinking steadily and stealthily.)

Odysseus: Noman. What boon shall I receive of thee to earn my thanks?

Cyclops: I will feast on thee last, after all thy comrades.

Odysseus: Fair indeed the honour thou bestowest on thy guest, sir
Cyclops!

Cyclops: (turning suddenly to Silenus) Ho, sirrah! what art thou
about? taking a stealthy pull at the wine?

Silenus: No, but it kissed me for my good looks.

Cyclops: Thou shalt smart, if thou kiss the wine when it kisses not
thee.
