For at your death you did neither stretch out your hands to me from your bed, nor speak to me any word of wisdom on which I might have pondered night and day with shedding of tears.
οὐ γάρ μοι θνῄσκων λεχέων ἐκ χεῖρας ὄρεξας , οὐ δέ τί μοι εἶπες πυκινὸν ἔπος , οὗ τέ κεν αἰεὶ μεμνῄμην νύκτάς τε καὶ ἤματα δάκρυ χέουσα .
οὐ γάρ ἐγώ θνήσκω λέχος ἐκ χείρ ὀρέγω , οὐ δέ τις ἐγώ εἶπον πυκνός ἔπος , ὅς τε ἄν ἀεί μιμνήσκω νύξ τε καί ἦμαρ δάκρυον χέω .
