Euripides.
"Thou choice of Achaia, wide-ruling Atrides, give heed to my schooling!
Yea, shock, and not to succour come."
Dionysus.
A third shock that, I declare!
Euripides.
"Ah, peace, and give ear! For the Bee-Maids be near to ope wide Artemis' portals.
Yea, shock-a-nock a-succour come!
Behold it is mine to sing of the sign of the way fate-laden to mortals;
Yah, shocker-knocker succucum!"
Dionysus.
Zeus Almighty, what a chain of shocks!
I think I'll go away and take a bath;
The shocks are too much for my nerves and kidneys!
Euripides.
Not till you've heard another little set
Compounded from his various cithara-songs.
Dionysus.
Well then, proceed; but don't put any shocks in!
Euripides.
"How the might twin-throned of Achaia for Hellene chivalry bringeth
Flattothrat toflattothrat!
The prince of the powers of storm, the Sphinx thereover he wingeth
Flattothrat toflattothrat!
