τὴν δ' ἠμείβετ' ἔπειτα θεὰ Θέτις ἀργυρόπεζα:
τίπτέ με κεῖνος ἄνωγε μέγας θεός: αἰδέομαι δὲ
μίσγεσθ' ἀθανάτοισιν: ἔχω δ' ἄχε' ἄκριτα θυμῷ:
εῖμι μὲν, οὐδ' άλιον ἔπος ἔσσεται ὅττί κεν εἴπῃ:
Then spake in answer Thetis, the silver-footed goddess: "Wherefore summoneth me that mighty god? I have shame to mingle in the company of the immortals, seeing I have measurehess griefs at heart. Howbeit I will go, neither shall his word be vain, whatsoever he shall speak."
