| Ἀλλ’ ὦ Μανασσῆ θελξικάρδιον στόμα, | |
| Ὀρφεῦ νεαρὲ τοῦ παλαιοῦ βελτίων, | |
| τὴν γλυκερὰν ἅρμοσον αὖθις κιθάραν | |
| καὶ σὴν πρόσοψιν ὑπόδειξον τοῖς φίλοις | |
| καὶ προσλαλήσαις τοῖς μαθηταῖς ὡς πάλιν· | |
| εἰ γὰρ μαλάσσειν εἶχε γλυκερὸς λόγος | |
| ὦτα λασιόκωφα δυσμενοῦς Ἅιδου, | |
| τοῦτ’ αὐτὸς ἂν ἔδρασας ἐλθὼν εἰς Ἅιδην | |
| ὡς αὐτοθελκτήριος αὐτογλυκύτης. |
