LYCINUS

Then how will the cup-bearer serve a full goblet as heavy as that? And how will you take it from him without an effort? It wont be a cup he offers, but a weight as heavy as Sisyphuss rock! [*]

ADIMANTUS

Man, dont pick my wish to pieces. Ill make my tables of solid gold too and my couches of gold and, if you dont keep quiet, my servants as well.

v.6.p.457
LYCINUS

Take care you dont become a Midas and have your bread and drink turned to gold, and wretched in your riches perish, destroyed by a famine of superabundance.
