SCYLLA & CHARYBDIS
"He murmured then with blond delight for all:
—Between the acres of the rye
These pretty countryfolk would lie.
Paris: the wellpleased pleaser." (U9.265)
From Shakespeare's "It was a Lover and his Lass" (As you Like It):
It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
That o’er the green cornfield did pass,
In springtime, the only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring.
Between the acres of the rye,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
Those pretty country folks would lie,
In springtime, the only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring...
