ὁρῶ, δεινὸν τὸ πλῆθος,
yes, a very great number.
καὶ δὴ καὶ τρεῖς μόσχους κομψοὺς ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ;
also three pretty calves in the field?
ἔτι δὲ ἱππάριον, κόσμιον, βαλιόν;
also a neat little piebald pony?
τί γελᾷς; what are you laughing at?
ἐκεῖνο τὸ παιδίον ἱππαζόμενον ἐπὶ τοῦ ἱππαρίου,
that boy riding on the little pony.
καὶ δὴ καὶ τρέχει ὀπίσω ἡ παιδίσκη ἡ κομψή,
and behind runs the pretty little girl.
τερπνὸν τὸ θέαμα, a pleasant sight.
ὁ θαυμαστὸς οὑτοσὶ δύο ὁρᾷ ἡλίους ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, ἡμεῖς δὲ ἕνα μόνον ὁρῶμεν,
this strange man sees two suns in the sky; we see only one.
μῑσοῦμεν τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ μωροῦ, we hate a fool’s voice.
τοῦ δὲ σοφοῦ φωνὴν φιλοῦμεν, but we love the voice of the wise man.
