Watch well each separate citizen,
Lest having in his heart of hearts
A secret spear, one still may come
Saluting you with cheerful face,
And utter with a double tongue
The feigned good wishes of his wary mind.
πεφυλαγμένος ἄνδρα ἕκαστον ὅρα,
μή ⟨σε⟩ κρυπτὸν ἔγχος ἔχων κραδίῃ
φαιδρῷ προσεννέπῃ προσώπῳ,
γλῶσσα δέ οἱ διχόμυθος
ἐκ μελαίνης φρενὸς γεγωνῇ.
μή ⟨σε⟩ κρυπτὸν ἔγχος ἔχων κραδίῃ
φαιδρῷ προσεννέπῃ προσώπῳ,
γλῶσσα δέ οἱ διχόμυθος
ἐκ μελαίνης φρενὸς γεγωνῇ.
