θᾶσαι τὸν ἀνδριάντα τοῦτον, ὦ ξένε,
σπουδᾷ, καὶ λέγ᾽, ἐπὰν ἐς οἶκον ἔνθῃς,

Ἀνακρέοντος εἰκόν᾽ εἶδον ἐν Τέῳ,

τῶν πρόσθ᾽ εἴ τι περισσὸν ᾠδοποιοῦ.


προσθεὶς δὲ χὤτι τοῖς νέοισιν ἅδετο,
ἐρεῖς ἀτρεκέως ὅλον τὸν ἄνδρα.

a song-writer most excellent of those of old." And
adding that he took delight in young men, thou
shalt exactly describe the whole man.
