Hesiod, Works And Days, 493-499


πὰρ δʼ ἴθι χάλκειον θῶκον καὶ ἐπαλέα λέσχηνOn ploughing, won’t dismay you. Plough your field


ὥρῃ χειμερίῃ, ὁπότε κρύος ἀνέρα ἔργωνWhen soil is light – such is a surety


ἰσχάνει, ἔνθα κʼ ἄοκνος ἀνὴρ μέγα οἶκον ὀφέλλοιFor us and for our children forms a shield.


μή σε κακοῦ χειμῶνος ἀμηχανίη καταμάρψῃPray, then, to Zeus, the god of husbandry


σὺν πενίῃ, λεπτῇ δὲ παχὺν πόδα χειρὶ πιέζῃς.And pure Demeter that she fill her grain.


πολλὰ δʼ ἀεργὸς ἀνήρ, κενεὴν ἐπὶ ἐλπίδα μίμνωνFirst grab the handles of the plough and flick


χρηίζων βιότοιο, κακὰ προσελέξατο θυμῷ.The oxen as upon the straps they strain.
