Often are they envious, this I tell you. of those who are learned. and go beating out their everso enthusiastic melody with their loud cry. If someone cries at the top of his voice: "I say, forward!" he is exceeding himself, in a manner of speaking. They observe no regular rhythm. there are no long or short, stressed or unstressed notes. no well-proportioned construction; and I, who listen carefully to their loud cry. say immediately to my comrades: Listen, gentlemen, I pray you; If someone cries at the top of his voice: "I say, forward!" he is exceeding himself, in a manner of speaking. Often they show themselves to be friends by making grand promises. but in fact promising to do nothing at all. for they are simply practising duplicity. Cursed be such rabble. for from what I have heard. If someone cries at the top of his voice: "I say, forward!" he is exceeding himself, in a manner of speaking.
