Λεξιφάνης

ὁ μέντοι ἰπνολέβης ὑπερπαφλάζων ἐς κεφαλὴν ἡμῖν ἐπέτρεπε τοὺς ἄνθρακας. ἐπίνομεν δὲ ἀμυστὶ καὶ ἤδη ἀκροθώρακες ἦμεν· εἶτʼ ἐχριόμεθα βακχάριδι καὶ εἰσεκύκλησέ τις ἡμῖν τὴν ποδοκτύπην καὶ τριγωνίστριαν· μετὰ δὲ ὁ μέν τις ἐπὶ τὴν κατήλιφα ἀναρριχησάμενος ¹ ἐπιφόρημα ἐζήτει, ὁ δὲ ληκίνδα ἔπαιζεν, ἄλλος ἐρρικνοῦτο σὺν γέλωτι τὴν ὀσφῦν.

[8] The calefactor,¹ however, slopped over on our heads and delivered us a consignment of coals. But we drank bottoms up and soon were well fortified. Then we endued ourselves with baccharis, and someone trundled in the girl that treads the mazy and juggles balls; after which, one of us, scrambling up to the coekloft, went looking for something to top off with,² whilst another fell to thrumming and another laughingly wriggled his hips.

[8] But the kettle boiled over, and sent the ashes flying about our beads. It was bumpers and no heeltaps, and we were full to the throat. Then to the nard; and enter to us guitar and light fantastic toe. Thereafter, one shinned up the ladder, on postprandial japery intent, another beat the devil’s tattoo, a third writhed cachinnatory.
