The Acharnians

59

Dic. To show my manhood furthermore, and spirit in the struggle,
I quailed it off within my breath; I gulped it in a guggle.[1]

Chorus. Then take the wine-skin as your due.
We triumph and rejoice with you. ⁠1610

Dic. Then fill my train,
And join the strain.

Chorus. With all my heart;
We'll bear a part.

All. We're triumphant, great and glorious,
We're victorious,
⁠Hurrah!
We've won to-day,
Wine-skin and all!
⁠Hurrah!
