Φιλοκτήτης
φέρε νυν στείχων χώραν καλέσω.
χαῖρʼ, ὦ μέλαθρον ξύμφρουρον ἐμοί,
νύμφαι τʼ ἔνυδροι λειμωνιάδες,
1455
καὶ κτύπος ἄρσην πόντου προβολῆς,
οὗ πολλάκι δὴ τοὐμὸν ἐτέγχθη
κρᾶτʼ ἐνδόμυχον πληγαῖσι νότου,
πολλὰ δὲ φωνῆς τῆς ἡμετέρας
Ἑρμαῖον ὄρος παρέπεμψεν ἐμοὶ
1460
στόνον ἀντίτυπον χειμαζομένῳ.
νῦν δʼ, ὦ κρῆναι Λύκιόν τε ποτόν,
λείπομεν ὑμᾶς, λείπομεν ἤδη

χαῖρʼ, ὦ Λήμνου πέδον ἀμφίαλον,
1465
καί μʼ εὐπλοίᾳ πέμψον ἀμέμπτως,
ἔνθʼ ἡ μεγάλη Μοῖρα κομίζει
γνώμη τε φίλων χὠ πανδαμάτωρ
δαίμων, ὃς ταῦτʼ ἐπέκρανεν.
