Τεύχεσι μὲν πολέμοιο ἀγάλλεται ἄλκιμος ἀνὴρ
κύματά τ' Ἀμφιτρίτης ἐμπορίης θεράπων,
καὶ πλοῦτον κενεαυχέα πᾶς κακίῃσι μεμηλὼς
καὶ χρυσὸν φιλέει νηπιάας ὀχέων·
αὐτὰρ ἐγὼ πολυΐδμονος αἴσια ὄργια Μούσης
καὶ φιλέων πονέω καὶ πονέων φιλέω·
οὐ Κροῖσον φθονέω οὐ Τάνταλον ἀργυροτρώκτην
οὐ Μίδαν ὃς χρυσὸν εὔχετο πάντα ποεῖν,
ἀλλά μοι εἴη ζῆν ἀπὸ τῶν ὀλίγων, κακὸν οὐδὲν
αἰνυμένῳ, σοφίης κάλλεσι τερπομένῳ.
