| Ὦ τῶν μεγίστων ἐργεπεῖκτα σκαμμάτων, | |
| τὸν πρὶν ἐκεῖνον ζωγραφῶν Εὐρυσθέα, | |
| κ' ἂν οὐκ ἀμισθὶ τοὺς ἀγῶνας προτρέπῃς, | |
| δώροις δὲ συχνοῖς νῦν ἐλαύνεις πρὸς πόνους, | |
| δέξαι τὸν ἆθλον ἐντελῆ πεφηνότα· | |
| ὁ σὸς γὰρ αὐτὸν Ἡρακλῆς ὡς προὐτράπη, | |
| δείκνυσι τανῦν ἐμφανῶς ἠνυσμένον. | |
| Τρέσῃς δὲ μηδὲν, μὴ προπέμψῃς Κοπρέα | |
| τούτου θεατήν, προστατοῦντα τῶν πόνων. | |
| Οὐ κάπρος ἐστὶν ἐνθαδί, ζῶν ἠγμένος, | |
| ῥέγχων παρ' ὤμοις· οὐ λέων πεπνιγμένος· | |
| Ὕδρας κεφαλὰς νῦν οὐχ ὁρᾶς τετμημένας· | |
| οὐ νεκρὸς οὐδεὶς ἠνεμωμένος δρόμοις· | |
| οὐδ’ ἀρκάδων ὄρνιθες, ἐκφυὲς τέρας, | |
| ὁμοῦ τὲ τόξον, καὶ πτερόν δε, καὶ βέλος· | |
| οὐ ζῶμα· κόπρος· οὐδὲ ταῦρος πῦρ πνέων· | |
| οὐ θρᾷξ τίς ἵππος, αἷμα χόρτον ἐσθίων· | |
| (...) | |
| ῥήτωρ, ἐλέγχων ῥητορεύοντας πόνους. |

Oh you, taskmaster of the greatest contests, making an impression of that famous ancient Eurystheus, you give way to the agons, albeit not without compensation. No! With innumerable gifts you now exhort to labors. Αccept the deed that now appears to be done. Your Heracles, as he was urged to do, shows it (to you): it is now clearly accomplished. Do not flee away and do not send forward Kopreus to watch it, as a steward of the labors.
