ἀλλ᾽ ἤτοι ἔπεσιν μὲν ὀνείδισον ὡς ἔσεταί περ:
ὧδε γὰρ ἐξερέω, τὸ δὲ καὶ τετελεσμένον ἔσται:
καί ποτέ τοι τρὶς τόσσα παρέσσεται ἀγλαὰ δῶρα
ὕβριος εἵνεκα τῆσδε: σὺ δ᾽ ἴσχεο, πείθεο δ᾽ ἡμῖν.
"...But come now, leave off your strife, don't take your sword in hand:
But now, with words reproach him, just as it will be at all events:
for thus I speak, and this will have been accomplished too:
and then indeed thrice as much gleaming honour-gifts will be yours
on account of this hubris: you restrain yourself, and obey us."
