FIFTH OF DAILY HYMNS, TO BE CHANTED THE SIXTH DAY

Back

Happy is he who doesn’t consider recklessly

the vain opinions of men, but thinking himself

with right mind exerts the divine virtue.

Happy is he who doesn’t foolishly pursue

an always growing bunch of wealth without purpose, but measures

wealth with the reasonable needs of his body.

Happy is he who put a suitable limit to enjoyment,

so that no evil can come for the soul

nor for the body, but lives in agreement with the divine virtue.

George Gemistos Plethon

translated by Manuela Simeoni
