Χορός
καὶ μὴν ἡμεῖς ἐπιθυμοῦμεν
παρὰ σοφοῖν ἀνδροῖν ἀκοῦσαι
τίνα λόγων ἐμμέλειαν
ἔπιτε δαΐαν ὁδόν.
γλῶσσα μὲν γὰρ ἠγρίωται,
λῆμα δ᾽ οὐκ ἄτολμον ἀμφοῖν,
οὐδ᾽ ἀκίνητοι φρένες.
900προσδοκᾶν οὖν εἰκός ἐστι
τὸν μὲν ἀστεῖόν τι λέξειν
καὶ κατερρινημένον,
τὸν δ᾽ ἀνασπῶντ᾽ αὐτοπρέμνοις
τοῖς λόγοισιν
ἐμπεσόντα συσκεδᾶν πολλὰς
ἀλινδήθρας ἐπῶν.
