Whoso ten thousand foxes should collect,
In all that herd would the same nature see
And the same habits: let him count mankind,
And for each separate body he shall find
A different character.
ἐὰν τρισμυρίας
ἀλώπεκάς τις συναγάγῃ, μίαν φύσιν
ἁπαξαπασῶν ὄψεται τρόπον θ᾿ ἕνα.
ἡμῶν δ᾿ ὅσα καὶ τὰ σώματ᾿ ἐστὶ τὸν ἀριθμὸν
καθ᾿ ἑνός, τοσούτους ἔστι καὶ τρόπους ἰδεῖν.
ἀλώπεκάς τις συναγάγῃ, μίαν φύσιν
ἁπαξαπασῶν ὄψεται τρόπον θ᾿ ἕνα.
ἡμῶν δ᾿ ὅσα καὶ τὰ σώματ᾿ ἐστὶ τὸν ἀριθμὸν
καθ᾿ ἑνός, τοσούτους ἔστι καὶ τρόπους ἰδεῖν.
