After meat comes mustard; or, like money to a starving man at sea, when there are no victuals to be bought with it.[translation by John Willis Clark]That is like a man having money at sea when he is dying of hunger and has no way of buying what he wants.[translation by John Ormsby][Eso me parece como quien tiene dineros en mitad del golfo, y se está muriendo de hambre, sin tener adonde comprar lo que ha menester.]
