From The Frogs by Aristophanes

male · joyful · 53 sec

You can. Just dip your oar in once, You'll hear the loveliest timing songs. (DIO: What from?) Frog-swans, most wonderful. (DIO: Then give the word.) Heave ahoy! heave ahoy!! FROGS. Brekekekex, ko-ax, ko-ax! Brekekekex, ko-ax, ko-ax! We children of the fountain and the lake Let us wake Our full choir-shout, as the flutes are ringing out, Our symphony of clear-voiced song. The song we used to love in the Marshland up above, In praise of DIOnysus to produce, Of Nysaean DIOnysus, son of Zeus, When the revel-tipsy throng, all crapulous and gay, To our precinct reeled along on the holy Pitcher day. Brekekekex, ko-ax, ko-ax.
