Bacchus often is wont with a moderate bunch to be sated,

When the deep brim-full vats hardly the must shall contain;

So when the threshing-floors all fail for the plentiful harvest

Ceres' ringlets to crown only one garland we bring.

Thou too, a minor god, example borrow from the major--

Though few apples we give, take thou our gift in good part.

E, D, an thou write, conjoining the two with a hyphen,

What middle D would bisect this shall be painted to view.
