χρῆν γάρ σε μήτʼ αὐτόν ποτʼ ἐς Τροίαν μολεῖν
ἡμᾶς τʼ ἀπείργειν, οἵ γέ σου καθύβρισαν,
1365
πατρὸς γέρας συλῶντες, εἶτα τοῖσδε σὺ
εἶ ξυμμαχήσων, κἄμʼ ἀναγκάζεις τόδε;
μὴ δῆτα, τέκνον· ἀλλʼ ἅ μοι ξυνώμοσας,
πέμψον πρὸς οἴκους· καὐτὸς ἐν Σκύρῳ μένων
ἔα κακῶς αὐτοὺς ἀπόλλυσθαι κακούς.
1370

διπλῆν δὲ πατρός, κοὐ κακοὺς ἐπωφελῶν
δόξεις ὁμοῖος τοῖς κακοῖς πεφυκέναι.
