Ἐπιτριβείης, ὦ Λείριον, κακὴ κακῶς, ὅτι με τῇ μέθῃ καὶ τοῖς αὐλοῖς κατακηλήσασα βραδὺν ἀπέφηνας τοῖς ἐκ τῶν ἀγρῶν ἀποπέμψασιν. οἱ μὲν γὰρ ἕωθεν προσ- εδόκων με φέροντα αὐτοῖς τὰ κεράμεια σκεύη, ὧν ἕνεκεν ἀφικόμην· ἐγὼ δὲ ὁ χρυσοῦς πάννυχος καταυ- λούμενος εἰς ἡμέραν ἐκάθευδον. ἀλλʼ ἄπιθι, ὦ τάλαινα, καὶ τοὺς ἀθλίους τουτουσὶ θέλγε τοῖς γοητεύμασιν. ἐμοὶ γὰρ εἰ ἔτι ἐνοχλοίης, κακόν τι παμμέγεθες προσ- λαβοῦσα ἀπελεύσῃ.
