Part of Hymn to Mercury, translated from the Greek of Homer
So speaking, the Cyllenian Argiphont
Winked, as if now his adversary was fitted:—
And Jupiter, according to his wont,
Laughed heartily to hear the subtle-witted
Infant give such a plausible account,
And every word à lie. But he remitted
Judgement at present—and his exhortation
Was, to compose the affair by arbitration.
