Chorus. Croak, croak.
BACCHUS (mimicking.) Croak, croak, by the gods I shall choke,
If you pester and bore my ears any more
With your croak, croak, croak.
LEADER. Rude companion and vain,
Thus to carp at my strain;
(To Chor) But keep in the vein,
And attack him again
With a croak, croak, croak.
Chorus (crescendo.) Croak, croak, croak.
