the Sunday's 'Can't be Sure' in Ancient Greek

Post by Markos »

England, my country, the home of the free, such miserable weather.
But England's as happy as England can be. Why cry?
πατρίδα ἄειδε, θεά, τὴν Βρεττανικήν μου.
ἐλευθερία μέν, εὐδία δ' οὔ.
ὅσον δυνατόν αὐτὴν ὀλβίζω,
τί οὖν κλαίει?

οὐ μανθάνω γράφειν, ἀλλὰ γράφω τοῦ μαθεῖν.
