When Neil opens the poetry volume, you can see the lines 304 to 310 of Alexander Pope's "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot": But all such babbling blockheads in his stead Let Sporus tremble - A. "What? that thing of silk, Sporus, that mere white curd of ass's milk? Satire or sense, alas! can Sporus feel? Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?" P. Yet let me flap this bug with gilded wings, This painted child of dirt that stinks and stings, On top of the page there is merely a title "Satires", because the 'Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot' is also known as 'Prologue to the Satires'. Notice that in the final scene, Abby seems to continue Pope's rhyme by saying: "Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel? I do, Neil."
