Theognis 789-792 (tr. Douglas E. Gerber):

May no other new pursuit arise for me
in place of excellence and learning, but ever holding on to this
may I enjoy lyre, dance, and song,
and may I have noble thoughts in company with the noble.

μήποτέ μοι μελέδημα νεώτερον ἄλλο φανείη
    ἀντ᾿ ἀρετῆς σοφίης τ᾿, ἀλλὰ τόδ᾿ αἰὲν ἔχων         790
τερποίμην φόρμιγγι καὶ ὀρχηθμῷ καὶ ἀοιδῇ,
    καὶ μετὰ τῶν ἀγαθῶν ἐσθλὸν ἔχοιμι νόον.
