O izvirniku

Besedilo
Labod
A wealthy man kept both a goose and a swan, though for different purposes: the swan for its song, the goose for his table. When the time came for the goose to meet the fate for which it had been raised, it was night, and the darkness made it impossible to tell the two birds apart. The swan, taken away in place of the goose, sang a melody as a prelude to death. Its song revealed what kind of bird it was, and so its music saved it from death. The fable shows that music can often win a reprieve from death.

Ἀνὴρ εὐπορῶν χῆνά τε ἅμα καὶ κύκνον ἔτρεφεν, οὐκ ἐπὶ τοῖς αὐτοῖς μέντοι· τὸν μὲν γὰρ ᾠδῆς, τὸν δὲ τραπέζης ἕνεκεν. Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἔδει τὸν χῆνα παθεῖν ἐφʼ οἷς ἐτρέφετο, νὺξ μὲν ἦν, καὶ διαγινώσκειν ὁ καιρὸς οὐκ ἀφῆκεν ἑκάτερον. Ὁ δὲ κύκνος, ἀντὶ τοῦ χηνὸς ἀπαχθεὶς, ᾄδει τι μέλος θανάτου προοίμιον· καὶ τῇ μὲν ᾠδῇ μηνύει τὴν φύσιν, τὴν δὲ τελευτὴν διαφεύγει τῷ μέλει. Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι πολλάκις ἡ μουσικὴ τελευτῆς ἀναβολὴν ἀπεργάζεται.
