εἰ τοῖς θεοῖς μέλει τι τῶν ἐμῶν κακῶν αὐτοί τέ μοι σώσουσι τὴν ἐρωμένην. πρόδηλον δ' ὡς καὶ ἔργων τινῶν ἀπέχεσθαι δεῖ τὸν μὴ μετεωρισθησόμενον, ὧν ἐστι καὶ μέθη· δι' ἀλλήλων γὰρ δὴ ταῦτα αὔξεται μετεωριζόμενοί τε γὰρ τινες καὶ τὸν μετεωρισμὸν μὴ αἴροντες ἐκ διανοίας εἰς μέθην πίπτουσιν, καὶ τὰ διὰ τῆς μέθης
