Theognis 997-1002 (tr. S. Douglas Olson):

While the sun is just now driving his solid-hoofed horses sideways through the upper air, occupying the mid-point of his daily journey, let us bring our dinner to a close whenever anyone's heart urges him to do so, favoring our bellies with good food of every sort; and let a pretty Spartan girl immediately carry the washing-water out and bring in garlands with her soft hands.

τῆμος δ᾿ ἠέλιος μὲν ἐν αἰθέρι μώνυχας ἵππους
    ἄρτι πάραντ᾿ ἐλάοι μέσσατον ἦμαρ ἔχων,
δείπνου δὲ λήγοιμεν, ὅπου τινὰ θυμὸς ἀνώγοι,
    παντοίων ἀγαθῶν γαστρὶ χαριζόμενοι,        1000
χέρνιβα δ᾿ αἶψα θύραζε φέροι, στεφανώματα δ᾿ εἴσω,
    εὐειδὴς ῥαδιναῖς χερσὶ Λάκαινα κόρη.
