Χορός
λῆμα μὲν οὔπω στόρνυσι χρόνος
τὸ σόν, ἀλλ᾽ ἡβᾷ, σῶμα δὲ φροῦδον.
τί πονεῖς ἄλλως ἃ σὲ μὲν βλάψει,
705σμικρὰ δ᾽ ὀνήσει πόλιν ἡμετέραν;
χρὴ γνωσιμαχεῖν τὴν ἡλικίαν,
τὰ δ᾽ ἀμήχαν᾽ ἐᾶν: οὐκ ἔστιν ὅπως
ἥβην κτήσῃ πάλιν αὖθις.
Euripides. Euripides, with an English translation by David Kovacs. Cambridge. Harvard University Press. forthcoming.
