There is also a kind of drinking called ἄμυστις, when any one drinks a long draught without taking breath and without winking (μὴ μύσαντα). And they give the same name to the goblets from which it is easy to drink in this manner. And they also use a verb (ἐκμυστίζω) for drinking without taking breath, as Plato the comic poet says— And opening a fair cask of fragrant wine, He pours it straight into the hollow cup; And then he drank it sheer and not disturb'd, And drain'd it at one draught (ἐξεμύστισε). And they also drank the ἄμυστις draught to an accompaniment of music; the melody being measured out according to the quickness of the time; as Ameipsias says— Gentle musician, let that dulcet strain Proceed; and, while I drink this luscious draught, Play you a tune; then you shall drink yourself. For mortal man has no great wants on earth, Except to love and eat;-and you're too stingy.
