κἀκεῖνον ἐν θρόνοισιν εὑρήσω πατρός,
ἢ καὶ μολὼν ἔπειτά μοι κατὰ στόμα
ἀρεῖ , σάφ᾽ ἴσθι , καὶ κατ᾽ ὀφθαλμοὺς βαλεῖ,
575
πρὶν αὐτὸν εἰπεῖν “ ποδαπὸς ὁ ξένος ;” νεκρὸν
θήσω , ποδώκει περιβαλὼν χαλκεύματι.
φόνου δ᾽ Ἐρινὺς οὐχ ὑπεσπανισμένη
ἄκρατον αἷμα πίεται τρίτην πόσιν.
νῦν οὖν σὺ μὲν φύλασσε τἀν οἴκῳ καλῶς,
580
ὅπως ἂν ἀρτίκολλα συμβαίνῃ τάδε:
ὑμῖν δ᾽ ἐπαινῶ γλῶσσαν εὔφημον φέρειν,
σιγᾶν θ᾽ ὅπου δεῖ καὶ λέγειν τὰ καίρια.
τὰ δ᾽ ἄλλα τούτῳ δεῦρ᾽ ἐποπτεῦσαι λέγω,
ξιφηφόρους ἀγῶνας ὀρθώσαντί μοι.

πολλὰ μὲν γᾶ τρέφει

ἀνταίων βρύουσι:
πλάθουσι [ βλαστοῦσι ] καὶ πεδαίχμιοι

λαμπάδες πεδάοροι,
πτανά τε καὶ πεδοβά-
μονα κἀνεμοέντ᾽ ἂν
αἰγίδων φράσαι κότον.
