Third Toad
And a no less terrestrial!
The Big Toad
[With authority.] A song by comparison with which the song of the Nightingale sinks into insignificance!
Chantecler
[Astonished.] The Nightingale’s song?
Second Toad
[In a tone of finality.] Is not a circumstance to yours!
The Big Toad
[With a hop.] It was high time that a new singer—
Another
[Same business.] And a new song—
Fifth Toad
[Quickly, to his neighbour.] And a song by a stranger—
The Big Toad
Came to change conditions here.
Chantecler
Ah, I shall change conditions?
All
Glory to the Cock!
