Ambrose (Gwinnett) Bierce, 1842-1914

was an US author and satirist

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

J.G.

( “The Devil's Dictionary”, 1906 )
