Chilon, that was a wise ambassador, Was sent to Corinth with full great honór From Lacedaemon, 3584 to make álliánce; And when he came, it happen’d him, by chance, That all the greatest that were of that land, Y-playing attë hazard he them fand. For which, as soon as that it mightë be, He stole him home again to his countrý. And saidë there, “I will not lose my name, Nor will I take on me so great diffame, 3585 You to ally unto no hazardors. 3586 Sendë some other wise ambassadors, For, by my troth, me werë lever 3587 die, Than I should you to hazardors ally. For ye, that be so glorious in honoúrs, Shall not ally you to no hazardoúrs, As by my will, nor as by my treatý.” This wisë philosópher thus said he.
