The Odyssey 17.345–347
“Take, and give this mess to yon stranger, and bid him go about himself and beg of the wooers one and all. Shame is no good comrade for a man that is in need.” So he spoke, and the swineherd went, when he had heard this saying, and coming up to Odysseus spoke to him winged words:
δὸς τῷ ξείνῳ ταῦτα φέρων αὐτόν τε κέλευε αἰτίζειν μάλα πάντας ἐποιχόμενον μνηστῆρας· αἰδὼς δʼ οὐκ ἀγαθὴ κεχρημένῳ ἀνδρὶ παρεῖναι.
