οἶνος ἔρωτος ἔλεγχος: ἐρᾶν ἀρνεύμενον ἡμῖν
ἤτασαν αἱ πολλαὶ Νικαγόρην προπόσεις.
καὶ γὰρ ἐδάκρυσεν καὶ ἐνύστασε, καί τι κατηφὲς
ἔβλεπε, χὠ σφιγχθεὶς οὐκ ἔμενε στέφανος.

Wine is the proof of love. Nieagoras denied to us that he was in love, but those many toasts convicted him. Yes ! he shed tears and bent his head, and had a certain downcast look, and the wreath bound tight round his head kept not its place.

Le vin trahit l’amour ! Il nous disait n’être pas amoureux, mais les toasts pour leur nombre ont découvert Nicagoras.
Il a pleuré, penché la tête ; puis son regard s’est assombri et sa couronne ne restait plus tressée.
