ἀμπελὶς ἡ φιλάκρητος ἐπὶ σκήπωνος ὁδηγοῦ
ἤδη τὸ σφαλερὸν γῆρας ἐρειδομένη,
λαθριδίη Βάκχοιο νεοθλιβὲς ἦρ᾽ ἀπὸ ληνοῦ
πῶμα Κυκλωπείην πλησομένη κύλικα:
πρὶν δ᾽ ἀρύσαι μογερὰν ἔκαμεν χέρα: γραῦς δὲ παλαιή,
ναῦς ἅθ᾽ ὑποβρύχιος ζωρὸν ἔδυ πέλαγος.
Εὐτέρπη δ᾽ ἐπὶ τύμβῳ ἀποφθιμένης θέτο σῆμα
λάινον, οἰνηρῶν γείτονα θειλοπέδων.

— Paton edition

Ampélis la buveuse, qui appuyait déjà sur un bâton, guide de ses pas, sa vieillesse chancelante, allait prendre en cachette, à la cuve du vin nouveau, le breuvage d'une coupe cyclopéenne remplie jusqu'aux bords; avant de la tirer, sa pauvre main défaillit; et la vieille disparut, antique vaisseau vaisseau submergé, dans des flots de vin pur. Euterpe a mis sur le tertre de la morte un emblème de pierre, non loin des claies où le raisin sèche au soleil.

— Waltz edition

The tippler Ampelis, already supporting her
tottering old age on a guiding staff, was covertly
abstracting from the vat the newly pressed juice of
Bacchus, and about to fill a cup of Cyclopean size,
but before she could draw it out her feeble hand
failed her and the old woman, like a ship submerged
by the waves, disappeared in the sea of wine.
Euterpe erected this stone monument on her tomb
near the pressing-floor of the vineyard.

Ampelide la beona, ormai appoggiata al bastone da guida a causa della vacillante vecchiaia, sollevava di nascosto il mosto fresco dal tino per riempirne una coppa ciclopica; prima però si stancò di attingerne con la misera mano: la vecchia era sommersa nel dolce vino come un'antica nave in mare. Euterpe pose sul tumulo della defunta un emblema di pietra nei pressi delle terrazze da vino.
