But never came there Plutus, the blind one,
Unto my house, nor spake thus: 'Hippônax,
Minas of silver give I thee thirty.'
ἐμοὶ δὲ Πλοῦτος—ἔστι γὰρ λίην τυφλός—
ἐς τᾠκί᾿ ἐλθὼν οὐδάμ᾿ εἶπεν "Ἱππῶναξ,
δίδωμί τοι μνέας ἀργύρου τριήκοντα
καὶ πόλλ᾿ ἔτ᾿ ἄλλα"· δείλαιος γὰρ τὰς φρένας.
ἐς τᾠκί᾿ ἐλθὼν οὐδάμ᾿ εἶπεν "Ἱππῶναξ,
δίδωμί τοι μνέας ἀργύρου τριήκοντα
καὶ πόλλ᾿ ἔτ᾿ ἄλλα"· δείλαιος γὰρ τὰς φρένας.
