| Πλάτων· τί πολλὴν πρὸς τάδε σιγὴν στρέφεις; | |
| εἰ μὲν σιωπᾶς τῶν τεθνηκότων νόμω· | |
| ἄλλου λόγου πέφυκε, κοινὸν ὂν τόδε· | |
| εἰδὼς ἀπειπὼν πρὸς τὸ δεινὸν τοῦ λόγου, | |
| εἵλου σιγᾶν μάλιστα τοῦ γρῦζειν ὅλως. | |
| σοφὸς πάλιν πέφυκας ὥσπερ καὶ πάλαι· | |
| εἰδὼς σιωπᾶν, οὗ σιγὴ κρείττων λόγου. |
