yet he spoke not the truth, but checked the word before it was uttered, ever revolving in his breast thoughts of great cunning:
οὐ δ' ὅ γ' ἀληθέα εἶπε , πάλιν δ' ὅ γε λάζετο μῦθον , αἰεὶ ἐνὶ στήθεσσι νόον πολυκερδέα νωμῶν ·
οὐ δέ ὁ γε ἀληθής εἶπον , πάλιν δέ ὁ γε λάζομαι μῦθος , ἀεί ἐν στῆθος νόος πολυκερδής νωμάω ·
