Ay, you shall hear none else but Aischulos

Lay down the law of Tragedy, and prove

'Best friend' a stray-away,—no praise denied

His manifold deservings, never fear—

Nor word more of the old fun! Death defends!

Sound admonition has its due effect.

Such as shall bear abundant fruit, next year,

In judgment, regular, legitimate.

Let Bacchos' self preside in person! Ay—
