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.
[Juno drank a cup of nectar]
Juno drank a cup of nectar,But the draught did not affect her.
Juno drank a cup of rye—
Then she bade herself good-bye.
