Editorial note — Chapter VI · APPROACHING THE ANDES
Reading edition
“Guest! If one much worse
Arrived here than thyself, it were a curse
To my poor means, to let a stranger taste
Contempt for fit food. Poor men, and unplac’d
In free seats of their own, are all from Jove
Commended to our entertaining love,
But poor is th’ entertainment I can give,
Yet free and loving.”
