Rather, I see all true improvements, made

Or making, go against you—tooth and nail

Contended with; 't is still Moruchides,

'T is Euthumenes, Surakosios, nay,

Argurrhios and Kinesias,—common sense

And public shame, these only cleanse your sty!

Coerced, prohibited,—you grin and bear,

And, soon as may be, hug to heart again

The banished nastiness too dear to drop!

Krates could teach and practise festive song
