[Rogers’ translation]
Birds, vss. 1101 f.:
Now we wish to tell the judges, in a friendly sort of way,
All the blessings we shall give them, if we gain the prize today.
[Rogers’ translation]
Aristophanes was bald-headed, and therefore the chorus humorously appeals for the votes of all those similarly afflicted; cf. Peace, vss. 765 ff.:
It is right then for all, young and old, great and small,
Henceforth of my side and my party to be,
And each bald-headed man should do all that he can
That the prize be awarded to me.
