And to each man of you that in my halls are ever accustomed to drink the flaming wine of the elders, and to listen to the minstrel, I speak, and give this charge.
ὑμέων δ' ἀνδρὶ ἑκάστῳ ἐφιέμενος τάδε εἴρω , ὅσσοι ἐνὶ μεγάροισι γερούσιον αἴθοπα οἶνον αἰεὶ πίνετ' ἐμοῖσιν , ἀκουάζεσθε δ' ἀοιδοῦ .
σύ δέ ἀνήρ ἕκαστος ἐφίημι ὅδε εἴρω2 , ὅσος ἐν μέγαρον γερούσιος αἶθοψ οἶνος ἀεί πίνω ἐμός , ἀκουάζομαι δέ ἀοιδός .
