if a lyre already stripped
is down to this (your)self itself
then dont we gaze upon
sheer human (im)possibility

for anyhow, somehow
he is, you are (what then)
so grown (as) being already
pleasures willing dialogue

what then
i said
dont (we) strip this (him)self itself
and gaze (at it)
before the form

for anyhow
somehow
(he is)(you are)
so grown (as) being
already (pleasures) willing to dialogue

τί οὖν
ἔφην
οὐκ ἀπεδύσαμεν αὐτοῦ αὐτὸ τοῦτο
καὶ ἐθεασάμεθα
πρότερον τοῦ εἴδους

πάντως γάρ που
τηλικοῦτος ὢν
ἤδη ἐθέλει διαλέγεσθαι
