DEVIL DICTIONARY

nectar

n. A drink served at banquets of the Olympian deities. The secret of its preparation is lost, but the modern Kentuckians believe that they come pretty near to a knowledge of its chief ingredient.

But the draught did not affect her.
Juno drank a cup of rye --
Then she bad herself good-bye.
J.G.
