Book 2
55
A sort of hemisphere of the whole globe.
55
Everything there was beautiful and good:
55
Fish, goats' flesh, and a scorpion between them;
55
Then there were eggs in half, looking like stars.
55
On them we quickly laid our hands, and then
55
Speaking to me, and giving me a nod,
55
The host began to follow our example;
55
So we'd a race, and never did I stop
55
Till the whole dish was empty as a sieve.
