1 " Hermes, dear Hermes, Maia's son from Kyllene,I pray to you, for I'm frozen and I shiver.Give Hipponax a woolen overcoat, a Persiancape, some sandals and felt slippers,and sixty gold staters for his inner wall.Give Hipponax a woolen overcoat. I tell you, his teeth are rattling in his head!But from you never even a shabby coat against the very coldor slippers to keep my toes from freezing. "
