You may thunder and roar,
Yet I'll never give o'er
Till I'm hard at death's door,
—(This rib's plaguy sore)—
Semi-chorus With my croak, croak, croak.
Semi-chorus (diminuendo.) With my croak, croak, croak.
Full Chorus (in a dying cadence.) With my
croak—croak—croak.
(The Frogs disappear)
BACCHUS (looking over the boat's edge.)
