Odysseus: Bring them out; a man should see his purchases.

Silenus: But tell me, how much gold wilt thou give me in exchange?

Odysseus: No gold bring I, but Dionysus' drink.

Silenus: (joyfully) Most welcome words! I have long been wanting
that.

Odysseus: Yes, it was Maron, the god's son, who gave me a draught.

Silenus: What! Maron whom once I dandled in these arms?

Odysseus: The son of the Bacchic god, that thou mayst learn more certainly.

Silenus: Is it inside the ship, or hast thou it with thee?

Odysseus: This, as thou seest, is the skin that holds it, old sir.
