οἵηπερ φύλλων γενεή, τοίη δὲ καὶ ἀνδρῶν, ἀνδρῶν κουφονόων, φιλαοιδοτάτων, ἀγερώχων. ἠχὴ δʼ ἀμφοτέρων ἵκετʼ αἰθέρα καὶ Διὸς αὐλάς. ὧδε δέ τις εἴπεσκεν ἰδὼν ἐς πλησίον ἄλλον· οἰνοβαρές, κυνὸς ὄμματʼ ἔχων, κραδίην δʼ ἐλάφοιο, τί πτώσσεις; τί δʼ ὀπιπτεύεις κατὰ ἅρμʼ ἐν ἀγῶνι; εἰ δʼ ἄγε νυν πείρησαι, ἵνα κναφθεὶς ἀποτίνῃς.
