THE POEMS OF SAPPHO
78
Ὀ πλοῦτος ἄνευ σεῦ γ᾽ ἀρέτα ᾽στ᾽ οὐκ ἀσίνης πάροικος,
[ἠ δ ἐξ ἀμφοτέρων κρᾶσισ εὐδαιμονιας ἔχει το ἄκρον.]
Wealth without thee, Worthiness is no safe neighbour, [but the mixture of both is the height of happiness].
From the Scholiast on Pindar. The second line is apparently a gloss of the commentator.
79
Ἀυτα δὲ σύ Καλλιόπα.
And thou thyself, Calliope.
Quoted by Hephaestion when discussing a metre of Archilochus.
80
Δαύοις ἀπάλας ἐτάρας ἐν στήθεσιν.
Sleep thou, in the bosom of thy sweetheart.
From the “Etymologicum Magnum.” This fragment probably belongs among the Epithalamia.
