Ἀλλαντοπώλης

οὐδὲν μέγ᾽ ἀλλ᾽ ἢ τὴν ἐμὴν ἕξει τέχνην:
ἐπὶ ταῖς πύλαις ἀλλαντοπωλήσει μόνος,
τὰ κύνεια μιγνὺς τοῖς ὀνείοις πράγμασιν,
1400μεθύων τε ταῖς πόρναισι λοιδορήσεται,
κἀκ τῶν βαλανείων πίεται τὸ λούτριον.

Δῆμος

εὖ γ᾽ ἐπενόησας οὗπέρ ἐστιν ἄξιος,
πόρναισι καὶ βαλανεῦσι διακεκραγέναι,
καί σ᾽ ἀντὶ τούτων ἐς τὸ πρυτανεῖον καλῶ
1405ἐς τὴν ἕδραν θ᾽, ἵν᾽ ἐκεῖνος ἦν ὁ φαρμακός.
ἕπου δὲ ταυτηνὶ λαβὼν τὴν βατραχίδα:
κἀκεῖνον ἐκφερέτω τις ὡς ἐπὶ τὴν τέχνην,
ἵν᾽ ἴδωσιν αὐτὸν οἷς ἐλωβᾶθ᾽ οἱ ξένοι.
