Who is the bard of the Iliad among you? For since he likes puddings, Heyne begs he'll accept these that from Gottingen come. "Give them to me! The kings' quarrel I sang!" "I, the fight near the vessels!" "Hand me the puddings! I sang what upon Ida took place!" Gently! Don't tear me to pieces! The puddings will not be sufficient; He by whom they are sent destined them only for one.
