ἦμος δʼ ἠριγένεια φάνη ῥοδοδάκτυλος Ἠώς ,
καὶ τότʼ ἔπειτα νομόνδʼ ἐξέσσυτο ἄρσενα μῆλα ,
θήλειαι δὲ μέμηκον ἀνήμελκτοι περὶ σηκούς ·
οὔθατα γὰρ σφαραγεῦντο . ἄναξ δʼ ὀδύνῃσι κακῇσι
τειρόμενος πάντων ὀίων ἐπεμαίετο νῶτα
ὀρθῶν ἑσταότων · τὸ δὲ νήπιος οὐκ ἐνόησεν ,
ὥς οἱ ὑπʼ εἰροπόκων ὀίων στέρνοισι δέδεντο .

When
the
first
streaks
of
red
appeared
in
the
sky
,
The rams started to bolt toward the pasture .
The unmilked females were bleating in the pens ,
Their udders bursting . Their master ,
Worn out with pain , felt along the backs
Of all of the sheep as they walked by , the fool ,
Unaware of the men under their fleecy chests
