of some of these young ser-vitors was to look after the flowers for the altar; of others, to take care thatthe sacred vases were filled every day with fresh water from the Nile. TIktask of some was to preserve in perfect polish the silver images of the Moonwhich the priests carried in processions, while others were employed in feed-ing the consecrated animals, and in keeping their plumes and scales brightfor the admiring eyes of their worshippers.

Thomas Moores The Epicurean.
