αἰαῖ, Πυθαγόρης τί τόσον κυάμους ἐσεβάσθη,
καὶ θάνε φοιτηταῖς ἄμμιγα τοῖς ἰδίοις;
χωρίον ἦν κυάμων ἵνα μὴ τούτους δὲ πατήσῃ
ἐξ Ἀκραγαντίνων κάτθαν᾽ ἐνὶ τριόδῳ.

I fell in love with Demo of Paphos — nothing surprising in that : and again with Demo of Samos — well that was not so remarkable : and thirdly with Demo of Naxos — then the matter ceased to be a joke : and in the fourth place with Demo of Argos. The Fates themselves seem to have christened me Philodeme ; as I always feel ardent desire for some Demo.

σπονδὴ καὶ λιβανωτέ, καὶ οἱ κρητῆρι μιγέντες
δαίμονες, οἳ φιλίης τέρματ᾽ ἐμῆς ἔχετε,
ὑμέας, ὦ σεμνοί, μαρτύρομαι, οὓς ὁ μελίχρως
κοῦρος Ἀθήναιος πάντας ἐπωμόσατο.

I miss the eyes of Scylla, which the Sun himself and the Moon extinguished. My father feared me when I was a girl, and now dead I am washed by two perennial rivers which my head sends forth on the rugged hill.
*Answer*: Niobe. By the eyes she means her twelve children slain by Apollo (the Sun) and Artemis (the Moon). They are called the eyes of Scylla because Scylla was supposed to have six heads.

"Who and whose son?" "The slab will not. tell
you, for it perished before the tomb." "What is the
date?" "This is a tomb of old workmanship."
"And who slew thee, for this is murder?" "The
criminal hands of my neighbour." "To get what?"
"Gold." " May he dwell in darkness."

Ἰκαρίην πλώων [ πρῴην] ἅλα, νηὸς ὀλισθὼν
Δᾶμις ὁ Νικαρέτου κάππεσεν εἰς πέλαγος.
πολλὰ πατὴρ δ᾽ ἠρᾶτο πρὸς ἀθανάτους, καὶ ἐς ὕδωρ
φθέγγεθ᾽, ὑπὲρ τέκνου κύματα λισσόμενος.

ὤλετο δ᾽ οἰκτίστως βρυχθεὶς ἁλί: κεῖνο δὲ πατρὸς
ἔκλυεν ἀράων οὐδὲ πάλαι πέλαγος.

Κρηθίδα τὴν πολύμυθον, ἐπισταμένην καλὰ παίζειν,

Drink now, O Socrates, in the house of Zeus.
Of a truth a god called thee wise and Wisdom is a
goddess. From the Athenians thou didst receive
simply hemlock, but they themselves drank it by
thy mouth.

L'audace conduit l'homme dans l'Hadès et au ciel, c'est elle qui mena au bûcher le fils de Sosandros, Dorothéos : en rendant à Phthie le jour de la liberté, il fut tué entre Sécos et Chimères.

ὦ τῆς ἁπάσης δυνάμεως ὑπέρτατε,
σῶσόν με τὸν δύστηνον ἐκ παντὸς φθόνου.
θέλεις ἀκοῦσαι, βούλομαι κἀγὼ λέγειν
τὸ γὰρ θέλημα τὴν χάριν τίκτει διπλῆν,

διπλοῦν τε κάλλος τῷ λόγῳ χαρίζεται
λέγοντι κόσμος, καὶ κλύοντι σεμνότης.
φωστὴρ γὰρ εἶ σὺ καὶ λόγων καὶ τῶν νόμων,

On the one side I have close by me the Zeuxippus,
a pleasant bath, and on the other the race-course.
After seeing the races at the latter and taking a bath
in the former, come and rest at my hospitable table.
Then in the afternoon you will be in plenty of time
for the other races, reaching the course from your
room quite near at hand.

One thus addressed a boy who did not say good-day: “And so Damon who excels in beauty, does not even say good-day now! A time will come that
will take vengeance for this. Then, grown all rough and hairy, you will give good-day first to those who do not give it you back."
