εἰ προσδοκᾷς ἐμοῦ τι πεύσεσθαι πάρα;
989
οὐκ ἔστιν αἴκισμ᾽ οὐδὲ μηχάνημ᾽ ὅτῳ
990
προτρέψεταί με Ζεὺς γεγωνῆσαι τάδε,
991
πρὶν ἂν χαλασθῇ δεσμὰ λυμαντήρια.
992
πρὸς ταῦτα ῥιπτέσθω μὲν αἰθαλοῦσσα φλόξ,
993
λευκοπτέρῳ δὲ νιφάδι καὶ βροντήμασι
994
χθονίοις κυκάτω πάντα καὶ ταρασσέτω.
995
γνάμψει γὰρ οὐδὲν τῶνδέ μ᾽ ὥστε καὶ φράσαι
996
πρὸς οὗ χρεών νιν ἐκπεσεῖν τυραννίδος.

λέγων ἔοικα πολλὰ καὶ μάτην ἐρεῖν:
1008
τέγγῃ γὰρ οὐδὲν οὐδὲ μαλθάσσῃ λιταῖς
1009
ἐμαῖς :
δακὼν δὲ στόμιον ὡς νεοζυγὴς

1015
οἷός σε χειμὼν καὶ κακῶν τρικυμία
1016
