Oft one who finds himself to-day without
The bare necessities, to-morrow's rich,
And able others to support, while one
Who finds to-day a treasure, will to-morrow
Lose all the wealth that's stored within his house.
πολλάκις ἔχων τις οὐδὲ τἀναγκαῖα νῦν
αὔριον ἐπλούτησ᾿, ὥστε χἀτέρους τρέφειν·
θησαυρὸν εὑρὼν τήμερόν τις αὔριον
ἅπαντα τἀκ τῆς οἰκίας ἀπώλεσεν.
αὔριον ἐπλούτησ᾿, ὥστε χἀτέρους τρέφειν·
θησαυρὸν εὑρὼν τήμερόν τις αὔριον
ἅπαντα τἀκ τῆς οἰκίας ἀπώλεσεν.
