Without fair taste of what they stigmatize,

Euthukles had not missed the first display,

Original portrait of Euripides

By "Virtue laughingly reproving Vice:"

"Virtue,"—the author, Aristophanes,

Who mixed an image out of his own depths,

Ticketed as I tell you. Oh, this time

No more pretension to recondite worth!

No joke in aid of Peace, no demagogue

Pun-pelleted from Pnux, no kordax-dance
