A Sick City
Euripides, Heracles 272-274 (thou, thee = Lycus; tr. Edward P. Coleridge):
Newer› ‹Older
For a city sick with dissension and evil counsels thinketh not aright; otherwise it would never have accepted thee as its master.
οὐ γὰρ εὖ φρονεῖ πόλις
στάσει νοσοῦσα καὶ κακοῖς βουλεύμασιν·
οὐ γάρ ποτ' ἂν σὲ δεσπότην ἐκτήσατο.
