Strepsiades's Folly

In Athens' halls, where shadows lay,
Strepsiades's heart, a folly's sway.
With eyes so dim, and spirit torn,
He mourns the fate, he can't adorn.
Through whispers soft, and silent tears,
In Strepsiades's soul, the folly adheres.
With every cry, and every sigh,
In Strepsiades's heart, the folly lies.

Strepsiades's Wisdom

In final breath, his truth revealed,
Strepsiades's heart, forever healed.
With wisdom found, and spirit bright,
He faces darkness, with pure light.
Through battles long, and trials vast,
In Strepsiades's strength, they hold fast.
With every tear, and whispered word,
In Strepsiades's name, their hope is heard.

In every tale, he takes a stand.

The scheming farmer's guiding grace,
In every heart, he finds a place.
