III, 22 a), 'Motley thou art, of all shapes;'--for cattle are indeed of all shapes: therefore he calls her all-shaped; '--come to me with sap and possession of cattle!' when he says 'with sap,' he means to say 'with juice;' and when he says with possession of cattle,' he means to say 'with abundance.'
