SIMPLE TASTES, by                    
First Line: I do not care for gyges' store of gold
Last Line: I have no love. It lies far from my eyes.
Alternate Author Name(s): Archilochos
Subject(s): Simplicity


I DO not care for Gyges' store of gold,
Nor envy it, nor gaze with jealousy
On what the gods have. For proud tyranny
I have no love. It lies far from my eyes.
