And act the fool, the knave, the harsh, the hunks,

Who did prate, cheat, shake fist, draw purse-string tight,

As crowd might see, which only heard before.

"So played the Poet, with his man of parts;

And all the others, found unqualified

To mount cart and be persons, made the mob,

Joined choros, fortified their fellows' fun,

Anticipated the community,

Gave judgment which the public ratified.
