And the whole theatre broke out a-roar,

Echoed my admonition—choros-cap—

Rivals of mine, your hands to your faces!

Summon no more the Muses, the Graces,

Since here by my side they have chosen their places!

And so we all flocked merrily to feast,—

I, my choragos, choros, actors, mutes

And flutes aforesaid, friends in crowd, no fear,

At the Priest's supper; and hilarity

Grew none the less that, early in the piece,
