" "
Guard well and reverence that form of government
Which will eschew alike licence and slavery;
And from your polity do not wholly banish fear.
For what man living, freed from fear, will still be just?
Hold fast such upright fear of the law’s sanctity

φιλεῖ δὲ σιγᾶν ἢ λέγειν τὰ καίρια.

და ახლა სიცხე.. ზღვა ჩამკვდარი და მოქანცული
თვლემდა უძრავად, ჩაძირული შუადღის ხვატში

Γνώμης δ᾽ ἀπούσης πῆμα γίγνεται μέγα,
βαλοῦσά τ᾽ οἶκον ψῆφος ὤρθωσεν μία.
