ὡς εἰπὼν ἵπποισιν ἐκέκλετο φώνησέν τε:
μή μοι ἐρύκεσθον μὴ δ' ἕστατον χνυμένω κῆρ.
φθήσονται τούτοισι πόδες καὶ γοῦνα καμόντα
ἢ ὑμῖν: ἄμφω γὰρ τέμβονται νεότητος.
So said he, and called to his horses, saying: "Hold not back, I bid you, neither stand ye still with grief at heart. Their feet and knees will grow weary before yours, for they both are lacking in youth."
