One beat to hedge and the furtive birdies scatter. On street by ledge, hear the myriad raindrops splatter. One meat, two veg’, and a sack to hold the latter.

[Euripides’ Shorts 239]

One beat

To hedge

And the furtive birdies scatter.

 

On street

By ledge,

Hear the myriad raindrops splatter.

 

One meat,

Two veg’,

And a sack to hold the latter.
