Be yours to disenchant them ! Change things back ! Or better, strain a point the other way And handsomely exaggerate wronged truth ! Lend wine a glory never gained from grape, \ Ii6 ARISTOPHANES' APOLOGY, Help honey with a snatch of him we style The Muses' Bee, bay-bloom-fed Sophokles, And give Saperdion a Kimberic robe ! ' " ' I, his successor^' gruff the answer grunts, * Incline to poetize philosophy. Extend it rather than restrain ; as thus — Are heroes men? No more, and scarce as much, Shal...l mine be represented. Are men poor? Behold them ragged ! sick ? lame, halt and blind ! Do they use speech ? Ay, street-terms, market-phrase ! Having thus drawn sky earthwards, what comes next But dare the opposite, lift earth to sky ? Mere puppets once, I now make womankind, For thinking, saying, doing, match the male. Lift earth ? I drop to, dally with, earth's dung ! • — Recognize in the very slave — man's mate, Declare him brave and honest, kind and true, And reasonable as his lord, in brief.
