The Frogs was a Greek comedy written by the Human playwright Aristophanes, written on Earth during the 5th century BC. The piece was known to the Platonians who were visiting Earth at the time, and was retained by them upon their arrival to Platonius.
During the USS Enterprise's visit to Platonius in 2269, Alexander played a lyre as he chanted a song from the comedy, in English, to the recovering Parmen.
The song translated as:
Great Pan
Sounds his horn;
Marking time
To the rhyme
With his hoof,
With his hoof.
Forward, forward in our plan,
We proceed as we began,
βρεκεκεκεξ-βρεκεκεκεξ (Brekekex-brekekekex)
κοαξ κοαξ. (Kooax, kooax.)
Alexander, who at the end of his rendition recreated the croaking sound of a frog, then stopped as soon as Captain James T. Kirk entered the room. (TOS: "Plato's Stepchildren")
