ἐπυθόμην, ὡς τὰ ῥόδα ἐλθόντα παρὰ σὲ ὅσα χρέος ἀπέλαυεν, ἐγώ τε γὰρ ἐνετειλάμην αὐτοῖς, καὶ ὡς ἐκπιόντα ἀκηράτου χρωτὸς τῆς σῆς δρόσου κατέσχον τὴν ψυχὴν ἐξιοῦσαν καὶ δυσανασχετοῦσαν. καλῶς ἐποιήσατε, ὦ ῥόδα, ἀναβιώσαντα, καὶ δέομαι, μείνατε, ἔστʼ ἂν ἔλθω. μαθεῖν γὰρ ἔγνωκα, εἴ τι παρʼ ἀλλήλων εἰλήφατε ἐς εὐωδίαν αὐτὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐς χρόνον.
