Εἴπερ θελήσεις ὠφέλειαν τῆς βίβλου | |
ὅλως ἐφευρεῖν τῆς παρούσης ὡς θέμις, | |
δίελθε ταύτης νουνεχῶς καὶ πολλάκις· | |
ὅπως τρυγήσῃς καρπὸν τῶν νοημάτων | |
καὶ πᾶσαν ἄλλην ψυχικὴν εὐταξίαν. | |
Πλεῖον γάρ ἐστιν ἡδέων ήδυσμάτων | |
τῶν ἡδυνόντων νοῦν ὁμοῦ καὶ τὰς φρένας· | |
ἐν οἷς σεαυτὸν εὐφράνας κατ' ἀξίαν | |
εὕροις ὀρεκτῶν τῶν ἄνω μετουσίαν. |
