Chorus

985 You also know what a pig's education he has had; his school-fellows can recall that he only 990 liked the Dorian style and would study no other; his music-master in displeasure sent him away, saying; “This youth, in matters of harmony, 995 will only learn the Dorian style because it is akin to bribery.”
