We do indeed bless the Muses that work brings you some surcease of gloomy thoughts. But for the rest I hate to speak the word gold. We want it no more than you, who, when the coffer is full, bury it or hide it with the rest. Apollodorus forced a whole talent of the yellow curse upon me for painting his men's room.
