Anica.
Great calft
But you are all the same, blaspheme and jeer
At any mystery beyond your sphere
Of beer, and beef, and becr, and beef, and beer.
Now you have frightened the shy god!
Crassus.
Why heed?
Between your—arms—is all the god I need.
ALICIA.
Prudish and coarse to the last. Now hush indeed!
The stream kisses the lake. We near the shrine.
Stir no snapped twig. Let your foot—even yours—
Fall like a fawn's.
Crassu
‘Your breath is like new wine.
Aurcia,
Hush now! no porpoise gambols!
Crassus.
How obscure’s
The glimmer of the lake. Is that the isle?
