Sayings of Socrates 58

I have written verses about him too, as follows: 

Drink then, being in Zeus's palace, O Socrates; 

for truly did the god pronounce thee wise, 

being wisdom himself; 

for when thou didst frankly take the hemlock 

at the hands of the Athenians, 

they themselves drained it as it passed thy lips.

—Diogenes Laërtius, Lives of the Eminent Philosophers 2.46
