The Wise Man
Baton, fragment 3 Kassel and Austin (Poetae Comici Graeci, vol. IV p. 31), lines 1-3 (tr. John Maxwell Edmonds):

One that can lie beside some pretty she
and buy two pots of Lesbian liquor, he
is the Wise Man and gets what's called The Good.
ἐξὸν γυναῖκ᾽ ἔχοντα κατακεῖσθαι καλὴν
καὶ Λεσβίου χυτρῖδε λαμβάνειν δύο,
ὁ φρόνιμος <οὗτός> ἐστι, τοῦτο τἀγαθόν.
3 οὗτός add. Kaibel
