His sire Agesilas I count as blest as man may be + 

For wondrous goodly form and fearless inborn constancy. + 

Yet, though a man have wealth and all-surpassing comeliness, + 

Though he show might pre-eminent in athletes’ conflict-stress, + 

Let him bethink him⁠—mortal limbs his raiment doth array, + 

And the last vesture he shall don will be the grave-mound’s clay. + 
