And thus breaks silence old Amphitruon's voice....

Say I not true thus far, my Euthukles?

Suddenly, torch-light! knocking at the door,

Loud, quick, "Admittance for the revels' lord!"

Some unintelligible Komos-cry—

Raw-flesh red, no cap upon his head,

Dionusos, Bacchos, Phales, Iacchos,

In let him reel with the kid-skin at his heel,

Where it buries in the spread of the bushy myrtle-bed!

(Our Rhodian Jackdaw-song was sense to that!)
