Ὁ μὲν Σολομῶν ᾀσματοψαλμογράφος | |
ἔφθη προειπὼν γραφικαῖς παροιμίαις· | |
“Μήπω νικησάτω σε γυναικός, τέκνον, | |
ἐπιθυμία πλὴν ἰδίας ἀλόχου· | |
κἂν γὰρ γλυκύτης ἐκρέῃ τῶν χειλέων | |
αὐτῆς τὰ πρῶτα, κἂν δοκῇ σοι, τεκνίον, | |
μέλι γλυκαῖνον οὖσα καθάπερ ἄλλο· | |
ἀλλ’ ὕστερον, φεῦ, προξενεῖ σοι πικρίαν | |
πυκνοῖς ὀϊστοῖς σὸν δαμάζουσα κέαρ.” | |
Καὶ ταῦτα γλῶττα Σολομώντειος ἔφη. | |
Ἄθρει, θεατά, τοιγαροῦν τὴν τῆς βίβλου | |
ἐρωτικὴν πλακεῖσαν ὑφὴν καὶ φράσιν | |
καὶ νοῦν ἔχουσαν ἀφροδισίων τρόπων, | |
ἥτις καθαρῶς ἐστι πρῶτον γλυκύτης, | |
ἐς ὕστερον δ’ αὖ πικροπυρφόρον βέλος· | |
ἀρχῆς τὸ λοιπὸν ἁπάσης σκόπει τέλος. |
