Well, honey, that phrase is just a colorful way of saying "if you'll buy me a drink." It's an old-school expression that basically means if you'll treat me to a beer or a cocktail. So, next time someone asks you that, just tell them to grab you a cold one and you'll be good to go.

The value of a complete set of Waverley novels can vary depending on the edition, condition, and rarity of the set.

In The Old Man and the Sea, the old man, Santiago, symbolizes resilience, perseverance, and the struggle of human existence. He represents the timeless human condition of battling against overwhelming odds, and his endurance reflects the theme of dignity in the face of defeat. Santiago’s battle with the marlin can be seen as a metaphor for life's struggles, where success is not necessarily measured by material gain but by the inner strength and spirit shown during the pursuit.

He also embodies individualism and isolation, showing how a person can find meaning and self-worth through personal struggle, even when society might view the result as failure.

Mount Ida is a mountain in northwestern Turkey, southeast of the ruins of Troy.

In the scene where the chorus of captive Trojan women utter the line "No more through Ida's looms shall I ply my shuttle to and fro" they are lamenting the fact that they are being taken from Troy into slavery, never to see their homes in the shadow of Mount Ida again.

Another possible interpretation comes from the fact that Mount Ida was considered sacred to the mother goddess Cybele, sometimes called Mater Idaea, who was the protector of the Trojan prince Aeneas. Goddesses were often associated in one way or another with weaving, as it was considered a feminine task at the time, but honestly, there is little recorded of any specific link between Cybele and weaving - she was a lot more about lions, hawks, chariots, hunting and smiting, so it is far more likely the "Looms of Ida" are just looms near Mount Ida.

Oh, a loom is a device for weaving cloth, in case that is part of what you were asking. At the time the play was written, a loom consisted of a wooden frame strung with thread and a lever that pulled forward alternate strings, allowing a "shuttle" pulling another length of thread to pass behind them. There is more on weaving in link below.

I believe he is saying that unlike a calf, which he considers to be a mere beast, as a man he still has a chance at Heaven, the "dread Hereafter". Heaven is sometimes called that and the capitalization supports the idea.

I also think this may be yet another Hamlet reference, specifically to the line "But the dread of something after death" (3.1.77) in the "to be or not to be" soliloquy.

I'm not an expert, this is just my theory!
