	Στίχοι

	Ὁ ζῶν ἀνέστη· ξένιον τοῦτο ξένον
	τὸ σαρκὶ θνητῇ συγκραθῆναι τὸν Λόγον.
	τὰ δ’ ἄλλα πάντα συντρέχει παραυτίκα·
	νεκροὶ τρέχουσιν οἱ πάλαι σεσηπότες,
	χαλκαὶ πύλαι πίπτουσι συντεθλασμέναι·
	παγὶς συνετρίβη γὰρ ἡ τοῦ θανάτου
	καὶ πάντες ἐρρύσθημεν ἐκ τῶν μνημάτων.
	Ποῦ σου τὸ νῖκος καὶ τὸ κέντρον, ὦ δράκων;
	ποῦ σου τὰ κλεῖθρα καὶ σιδήριοι πύλαι;
	ἀπηνθρακώθης προσβαλὼν τῷ δεσπότῃ.
