But if you yourself have a will to listen, let them bind you in the swift ship hand and foot upright in the step of the mast, and let the ropes be made fast at the ends to the mast itself, that with delight you may listen to the voice of the two Sirens.
ἀτὰρ αὐτὸς ἀκουέμεν αἴ κ' ἐθέλῃσθα , δησάντων σ' ἐν νηὶ θοῇ χεῖράς τε πόδας τε ὀρθὸν ἐν ἱστοπέδῃ , ἐκ δ' αὐτοῦ πείρατ' ἀνήφθω , ὄφρα κε τερπόμενος ὄπ' ἀκούσῃς Σειρήνοιιν .
ἀτάρ αὐτός ἀκούω εἰ ἄν ἐθέλω , δέω σύ ἐν ναῦς θοός χείρ τε πούς τε ὀρθός ἐν ἱστοπέδη , ἐκ δέ αὐτός πεῖραρ ἀνάπτω , ὄφρα ἄν τέρπω ὄψ ἀκούω Σειρήν .
