Ἰωσὴφ οἰκτρὸς εὐτελὴς ῥακενδύτης
τὴν ἱερὰν κλίμακα ταύτην ἐκ πόθου
ἔγραψα χερσὶν οὔμενουν ταῖς ἰδίαις
ἀλλ᾽ ὥσπερ ηὐπόρησα τῶν μισθωμάτων
ταύτην ἁνατρέχοντες οὐκοῦν πατέρες
ταῖς πρακτικαῖς μάλιστα νῦν ἐργασίαις
πρὸς τὰς μονὰς βαίνοιτε τὰς οὐρανίους
τὴν γῆν ἀφέντας καὶ τὰ τῆς γῆς τοῖς κάτω
ἐμοῦ δὲ τοῦ τάλανος ἐν μονοτρόποις
διηνεκῶς μέμνησθε πρὸς τὸν δεσπότην
ὅπως διαβὰς τὴν θάλασσαν τοῦ βίου
πρὸς λιμένας φθάσαιμι τοὺς οὐρανίους.
