NPPF Canto two - A thimbleful of bright metallic tea

L 260 "A thimbleful of bright metallic tea"

 THE ORPHIC THEOGONY

 And Servius (on Ecl., iv.4) says: 'The
 Cumaean Sibyl divides the ages according to the metals; she
 also tells us which is to be ascribed to each metal, the
 last being that of the Sun, meaning by that the tenth. . . .

I do have one other idea about that small measure: thimbleful.
 
Yours truly,
