honey-smooth—in twenty more of water,

over the winebowl.

Then he dismembered them and made his meal,
gaping and crunching like a mountain lion—
everything: innards, flesh, and marrow bones.
When the young Dawn with finger tips of rose
lit up the world, the Cyclops built a fire
and milked his handsome ewes, all in due order, putting the sucklings to the mothers.

Considering a simile uses like or as to compare two different ideas or concepts, the only one that makes sense to me, is "Or are you wandering rogues, who cast your lives like dice, and ravage other folk by sea?" As it compares the rogues' lives to dice with how they gamble it.
