I will not buy regret for ten thousand drachmas.

Lais, inquit, Corinthia ob elegantiam venustatemque formae grandem pecuniam demerebat, conventusque ad eam ditiorum hominum ex omni Graecia celebres erant, neque admittebantur nisi qui dabat quod poposcerat: poscebat autem illa nimium quantum. [. . .] Ad hanc ille Demosthenes clanculum adit et ut sibi copiam sui faceret petit. At Lais μυρίας δραχμάς poposcit. [. . .] Tali petulantia mulieris atque pecuniae magnitudine ictus expavidusque Demosthenes avertitur et discedens [. . .] οὐκ ὠνοῦμαι inquit μυρίων δραχμῶν μεταμέλειαν. | Lais of Corinth, [Sotion] says, used to gain a great deal of money by the grace and charm of her beauty, and was frequently visited by wealthy men from all over Greece; but no one was received who did not give what she demanded, and her demands were extravagant enough. [. . .] The great Demosthenes approached her secretly and asked for her favours. But Lais demanded ten thousand drachmas. [. . .] Amazed and shocked at the woman's great impudence and the vast sum of money demanded, Demosthenes turned away, remarking as he left her: [. . .] I will not buy regret for ten thousand drachmas. (tr. J. C. Rolfe, 1927)
