From the Greek by Andrew Lang
From “The Clouds”
SOCRATES SPEAKS.
HITHER, come hither, ye Clouds renowned, and unveil yourselves here;
  Come, though ye dwell on the sacred crests of Olympian snow,
Or whether ye dance with the Nereid Choir in the gardens clear...

Poet: Aristophanes

From the Greek by William Collins

THEY ’RE always abusing the women,
  As a terrible plague to men:
They say we ’re the root of all evil,
  And repeat it again and again;
Of war, and quarrels, and bloodshed,
  All mischief, be what it may!
...

Poet: Aristophanes
