Seeing through rabble-rule, he shuts his eye
To what were better done than crowding Pnux—
That 's dance 'Threttanelo, the Kuklops drunk!'
"My power has hardly need to vaunt itself!
Opposers peep and mutter, or speak plain:
'No naming names in Comedy!' votes one,
'Nor vilifying live folk!' legislates
Another, 'urge amendment on the dead!'
'Don't throw away hard cash,' supplies a third,
'But crib from actor's dresses, choros-treats!'
