On Listening to a Certain Political Leader

Aristophanes, Clouds 628-629 (tr. Stephen Halliwell):
I've never in all my life met a bumpkin like this,
So helpless in every respect, so crass and forgetful!

οὐκ εἶδον οὕτως ἄνδρ᾿ ἄγροικον οὐδαμοῦ
οὐδ᾿ ἄπορον οὐδὲ σκαιὸν οὐδ᾿ ἐπιλήσμονα...
W.J.M. Starkie ad loc.:
