If it were possible to heal sorrow by weeping and to raise the dead with tears, gold were less prized than grief.
ἀλλ᾿ εἰ μὲν ἦν κλαίουσιν ἰᾶσθαι κακᾶ
καὶ τὸν θανόντα δακρύοις ἀνιστάναι,
ὁ χρυσὸς ἧσσον κτῆμα τοῦ κλαίειν ἂν ἦν.
καὶ τὸν θανόντα δακρύοις ἀνιστάναι,
ὁ χρυσὸς ἧσσον κτῆμα τοῦ κλαίειν ἂν ἦν.
