[ μέχρις οὗ μυχοὺς κίχωσι τοῦ κάτω θεοῦ],
καὶ τἀμὰ τεύχη μήτ᾽ ἀγωνάρχαι τινὲς
θήσουσ᾽ Ἀχαιοῖς μήθ᾽ ὁ λυμεὼν ἐμός.
ἀλλ᾽ αὐτό μοι σύ , παῖ , λαβὼν ἐπώνυμον,
575
Εὐρύσακες , ἴσχε διὰ πολυρράφου στρέφων
πόρπακος , ἑπτάβοιον ἄρρηκτον σάκος:
τὰ δ᾽ ἄλλα τεύχη κοίν᾽ ἐμοὶ τεθάψεται.
ἀλλ᾽ ὡς τάχος τὸν παῖδα τόνδ᾽ ἤδη δέχου
καὶ δῶμα πάκτου , μηδ᾽ ἐπισκήνους γόους
580
δάκρυε : κάρτα τοι φιλοίκτιστον γυνή.
πύκαζε θᾶσσον : οὐ πρὸς ἰατροῦ σοφοῦ
θρηνεῖν ἐπῳδὰς πρὸς τομῶντι πήματι.
