Texts

εἰ κάλλει καυχᾷ, γίνωσχ᾽ ὅτι καὶ ῥόδον ἀνθεῖ:
ἀλλὰ μαρανθὲν ἄφνω σὺν κοπρίοις ἐρίφη.
ἄνθος γὰρ καὶ κάλλος ἴσον χρόνον ἐστὶ λαχόντα:
ταῦτα δ᾽ ὁμῇ φθονέων ἐξεμάρανε χρόνος.

— Paton edition

If thou gloriest in thy beauty, know that the rose too blooms, but withers of a sudden and is east away on the dunghill. To blossom and to beauty the same time is allotted, and envious time withers both together.

— Paton edition
