Εἴδωλον Δαρείου
ὦ πιστὰ πιστῶν ἥλικές θ᾽ ἥβης ἐμῆς
Πέρσαι γεραιοί , τίνα πόλις πονεῖ πόνον;
στένει , κέκοπται , καὶ χαράσσεται πέδον.
λεύσσων δ᾽ ἄκοιτιν τὴν ἐμὴν τάφου πέλας
685
ταρβῶ , χοὰς δὲ πρευμενὴς ἐδεξάμην.
ὑμεῖς δὲ θρηνεῖτ᾽ ἐγγὺς ἑστῶτες τάφου
καὶ ψυχαγωγοῖς ὀρθιάζοντες γόοις
οἰκτρῶς καλεῖσθέ μ᾽ : ἐστὶ δ᾽ οὐκ εὐέξοδον,
ἄλλως τε πάντως χοἰ κατὰ χθονὸς θεοὶ
690
λαβεῖν ἀμείνους εἰσὶν ἢ μεθιέναι.
ὅμως δ᾽ ἐκείνοις ἐνδυναστεύσας ἐγὼ
ἥκω . τάχυνε δ᾽ ὡς ἄμεμπτος ὦ χρόνου.
τί ἐστι Πέρσαις νεοχμὸν ἐμβριθὲς κακόν:
