Lucian of Samosata

“ But confess; is it not because the sweet Boy’s Kisses excel Nectar?
Jun. Now my Vulcan is awkward; now he’s begrim’d and not fit to touch any Thing; you did not find these Faults before this curl’d Puppy come here.
Jup. Your Rage only adds its Fewel to my Flame; if you don’t like a clean Attendant, there’s your stinking Smith. Charming Ganymede, wait upon me alone: And mind; always kiss me twice, when you give the Cup, and when you take it away. Does my dear, and only dear, Delight weep? Let thy Jupiter’s Smile dispel all gloomy Apprehensions. They, who disturb you, shall rain bitter Tears. ”

“ The coldness with which Jupiter from this Time return’d Juno’s Warmth, was certainly not to be endur’d by an honest Wife, who rigorously exacts the Lawful Tithe of her Yokefellow’s Blood. This Goddess, whose Character is not Patience, thus vents the racking Anguish of her Soul. ”
