1 MIDĀS

2 Midās, magnus rēx Lydiae, magnam sapientiam nōn habēbat.

3 Quod Midās deō Bacchō benignus fuerat, Bacchus rēgī dōnum dedit.

4 “Quicquid dēsīderās”, dīxit deus, “tibi dabō
“Quicquid dēsīderās”, dīxit deus, “tibi dabō.” Rēx igitur hōc modō rogat: “Quicquid corpore tangam, id in aurum mūtā, quaesō.”

5 Rēx laetissimus novum dōnum cupidē temptat
Rēx laetissimus novum dōnum cupidē temptat. Omnia manū eius tacta in aurum mūtantur.

6 Midās cibum dente avidō tangere temptāvit, sed dentēs dūrum aurum tetigērunt. Nūllum aquam bibere potest, nūllum cibum edere potest.

7 Midās, manibus ad caelum tentīs, hōc mod ōrat: `Da veniam, pater benigne, peccāvimus, sed remitte damnōsum dōnum.’

8 Bacchus benignus inquit:`Ī ad flūmen vīcīnum Sardibus et carpe viam in montēs usque ad ortum flūminis. Lavā caput corpusque.’
