θρηνῶν προφῆτα καὶ μετακλαίων πόλιν·
πέπαυσο λοιπὸν τὴν φόνων πεπλησμένην·
ὁ μητρὸς ἔνδον γαστρὸς ἡγιασμένος·
καὶ μὴ πτοηθῆς εἰς ἔθνη τεθειμένος·
ὡς εἰς ἀπειθεῖς πρὶν κελευσθεὶς ἐκτρέχειν·
ἀλλ' ἐξαναστὰς ἆρον ὀφθαλμὸν κύκλω·
θρήνων ἑταῖρον δακρύων τὴν πλημμύραν·
ἐπείπερ οὐ τέθνηκας ἀλλὰ ζῆς ἄνω·
καὶ βλέψον ἔθνη τὰ πρὶν ἐκτὸς, ἐν νόμῳ·
ὑιοὺς σιών τε τοὺς ὑπερτίμους, κόνιν·
καὶ χαῖρε τῶν σῶν εἰς τελείωσιν λόγων·
οὓς τῆδε συντίθησιν εὐσεβὴς νόος:
