Χάρις μακρά σοι τῶν μακρῶν πόνων χάρις, | |
Ἰωάννη, τὸ θαῦμα τῶν χρονογράφων· | |
ἱδρῶσι καὶ γὰρ συγκομίσας τοὺς λόγους | |
ἀνήροτόν μοι γνωστικὴν τροφὴν δίδως | |
καὶ τὸν μελίσσης ἀνθολεκτήσας τρόπον, | |
ἐμοὶ γεωργεῖς τὸ γλυκύθυμον μέλι· | |
ἔμαθον ἐκ σῆς συγγραφῆς ἐπιτρόχου | |
τὴν ὀκτάτευχον βίβλον Ἑβραίων γένους | |
καὶ τετράτευχον βασιλειῶν πυξίον | |
τῶν παραλειφθέντων τε πάλιν πυκτίδα, | |
Ἐσθήρ, Ἰουδήθ, τὸν Τωβὴτ καὶ τὸν Ἔζραν, | |
ἀρχαιόλεκτα τῆς Ἰωσήπου βίβλου, | |
κράτος Βαβυλώνιον ἀρθὲν εἰς μέγα, | |
θράσος πάροινον τοῦ Ναυουχοδονόσορ, | |
Περσικὸν αὖθις ὑπερακμάσαν ξίφος, | |
Κύρους, Ξέρξας τε Καμβύσας Περσοκράτας | |
Μακεδόνων τε τὴν ὑπέρβιον χέρα, | |
Ἀλέξανδρον, τὸ θαῦμα τῆς μοναρχίας | |
καὶ τὸν μερισμὸν τοῦ κράτους Ἀλεξάνδρου | |
καὶ τὴν Λατίνων τετράτην αὐταρχίαν | |
καὶ Ῥωμαϊκὴν ποικίλην στρατηγίαν. | |
ἀλλὰ πιών σου τοῦ μέλιτος τῶν λόγων | |
διψῶ τὸν ἑξῆς ἐκπιεῖν ὅλον ῥόα· | |
βασιλέας ζητῶ γὰρ Αὐσόνων νέων, | |
Κωνσταντῖνον τὸν πάνυ τοὺς ἐν ὑστέρῳ. | |
ἡ βίβλος οὖν ὡς ἄγγος ἐστενωμένον | |
ἔστεξεν οὐ πᾶν ἔνδον ἄπλετον χύμα | |
καὶ ζημιοῖ με τὸν λόγοις διψαλέον· | |
ποῦ ποῦ τὸ λεῖπον τῆς μελιρροίας λάβω; |
