Χορός
590νῦν σὸν ἔργον ἔστ᾽, ἐπειδὴ
τὴν στολὴν εἴληφας ἥνπερ
εἶχες ἐξ ἀρχῆς πάλιν,
ἀνανεάζειν ...
καὶ βλέπειν αὖθις τὸ δεινόν,
τοῦ θεοῦ μεμνημένον
ᾧπερ εἰκάζεις σεαυτόν.
εἰ δὲ παραληρῶν ἁλώσει
595κἀκβαλεῖς τι μαλθακόν,
αὖθις αἴρεσθαί σ᾽ ἀνάγκη
'σται πάλιν τὰ στρώματα. Ξανθίας
οὐ κακῶς ὦνδρες παραινεῖτ᾽,
ἀλλὰ καὐτὸς τυγχάνω ταῦτ᾽
ἄρτι συννοούμενος.
ὅτι μὲν οὖν, ἢν χρηστὸν ᾖ τι,
600ταῦτ᾽ ἀφαιρεῖσθαι πάλιν πειράσεταί
μ᾽ εὖ οἶδ᾽ ὅτι.
ἀλλ᾽ ὅμως ἐγὼ παρέξω
'μαυτὸν ἀνδρεῖον τὸ λῆμα
καὶ βλέποντ᾽ ὀρίγανον.
δεῖν δ᾽ ἔοικεν, ὡς ἀκούω
τῆς θύρας καὶ δὴ ψόφον.
