During the assembly to face the murine-menace, the king of the frogs, Bellowmouth, announces his plan and his expected victory:
“As we drown those unaccustomed to the water in this way
We will happily dedicate a trophy to the murder of mice.”
οὕτω γὰρ πνίξαντες ἐν ὕδασι τοὺς ἀκολύμβους
στήσομεν εὐθύμως τὸ μυοκτόνον ὧδε τρόπαιον
