23 Those pressed among Arjikas, pressed among the active, in men's homes, Or pressed among the Races Five-

26 Like horses urged to speed, the drops, bright, stirring vital power, when blent With milk, are beautified in streams.

27 So they who toil with juices send thee forward for the Gods’ repast: So with this splendour flow thou on.
