τί τὸ καινὸν ἀνδρολήψιον τοῦτο; τίς ἡ τυραννίς; ἕλκεις με ἀπὸ τῶν ὀμμάτων καὶ σύρεις μὴ θέλοντα, ὥσπερ τοὺς πλέοντας ἡ Χάρυβδις ἀνερρόφει. ἦσαν ἄρα καὶ ἔρωτος πέτραι καὶ ὀφθαλμῶν πνεύματα, οἷς τις ἅπαξ ἐνσχεθεὶς καταδύεται. τοῦτο μὲν οὖν οὐκ εἶχεν ἡ Χάρυβδις· ἐμπρόθεσμον ἐκεῖνο τὸ ναυάγιον καὶ μικρόν τις ἀναμείνας σωτηρίας ηὐπόρει δένδρον εὑρὼν ἐν πελάγει, ὁ δὲ ἐς ταύτην ἅπαξ τὴν θάλατταν καταρρυεὶς οὐκ ἔτι ἐξέρχεται.
