Diogenes of Sinope | Greek Anthology 158
<blockquote>158. ANTIPATER
The wallet laments, and the fine sturdy Heracles
club of Sinopian Diogenes and the double coat, foe
of the cold clouds, befouled all over with encrusted
dirt, lament likewise because they are polluted by thy
shoulders. Verily I take Diogenes himself to be the
dog of heaven, but thou art the dog that lies in the
ashes. Put off, put off the arms that are not thine
The work of lions is one thing, and that of bearded
goats another.
