	Τῷ Ὁμήρῳ Χάρις

	Χαῖρε γέρον πάσης τῆς Ἑλλάδος ἀγλαὲ κόσμος·
	Μουσῶν χαῖρε πατήρ· χαῖρε σοφῶν τε νόμος·
	καὶ γὰρ ὑπερβάλλεις ἀνδρῶν τὰ νοήματα πάντων·
	ποιητῶν ἀγαθῶν μοῦνος Ὅμηρε φάος·
	ἔθνεα μὲν πρῶτον Πέλοπός τε καὶ γαῖα κρατεῖτο·
	τῶν Ἑνετῶν λαὸς νῦν δὲ φιλεῖ σε μέγα·
	κύματα πόντον ἕως κρατέῃ καὶ καρπὸς ἀρούρην·
	μνῆμά τ’ Ἀχιλλῆος τῶν τ’ Ὀδυσῆος ἔσῃ·
	δάκρυσιν οὐκ ἂν ἐγὼ τιμήσω, καίπερ ἐτάφθης
	ὀφθαλμοῖσιν ἀεὶ φαίδιμον ἡμετέροις.
