“In the words of Phokylides, the tribes of women come in four breeds: bee, bitch and grimy sow, and sinewy mate with draping mane. The mare is healthy, swift, roundly built and on the loose. The monster-looking sow is neither good nor rotten, and the bristling bitch lies snapping at the leash. Yes, the bee is best: a whizz at cleaning, trim and good in cooking. My poor friend, I tell you, for a bright, balmy marriage, pray for a bee.” — Phokylides
In the words of Phokylides, the tribes of women
come in four breeds: bee, bitch and grimy sow,
and sinewy mate with draping mane. The mare
is healthy, swift, roundly built and on the loose.
The monster-looking sow is neither good nor rotten,
and the bristling bitch lies snapping at the leash.
Yes, the bee is best: a whizz at cleaning, trim
and good in cooking. My poor friend, I tell you,
for a bright, balmy marriage, pray for a bee.
