gre I, 249-251ἡ δ᾽ οὔτ᾽ ἀρνεῖται στυγερὸν γάμον οὔτε τελευτὴν
250 ποιῆσαι δύναται: τοὶ δὲ φθινύθουσιν ἔδοντες
οἶκον ἐμόν: τάχα δή με διαρραίσουσι καὶ αὐτόν.’
Tr. Thomas Hobbes, 1677 (1844)Whilst she can none put off, and will none marry,
280
They spend my corn and wine, and cattle kill,
And eating here and drinking still they tarry,
And me perhaps at last they murder will.
Tr. Samuel Butler,1900And she neither refuses the hateful marriage,
[250] nor is she able to make an end; but they with feasting consume my substance:
ere long they will bring me, too, to ruin.”
