Χορός
τί ποτ᾽ οὐ πρὸ θυρῶν φαίνετ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἡμῖν ὁ γέρων οὐδ᾽ ὑπακούει;
μῶν ἀπολώλεκε τὰς
275ἐμβάδας, ἢ προσέκοψ᾽ ἐν
τῷ σκότῳ τὸν δάκτυλόν που,
εἶτ᾽ ἐφλέγμηνεν αὐτοῦ
τὸ σφυρὸν γέροντος ὄντος;
καὶ τάχ᾽ ἂν βουβωνιῴη.
ἦ μὴν πολὺ δριμύτατός γ᾽ ἦν τῶν παρ᾽ ἡμῖν,
καὶ μόνος οὐκ ἂν ἐπείθετ᾽,
ἀλλ᾽ ὁπότ᾽ ἀντιβολοίη
τις, κάτω κύπτων ἂν οὕτω
280‘λίθον ἕψεις,’ ἔλεγεν.
