| Στῆθι καὶ βλέψον, ἄνθρωπε, τὸ τῆς ζωῆς σου τέλος | |
| καί σκέψιν λάβε κατὰ νοῦν καὶ μάθε σου τὴν φύσιν. | |
| Θρήνησον βλέπων με νεκρὸν τὸν πρὸ μικροῦ σοι φίλον. | |
| Ἔπαυσαν ὄργανα φωνῆς, λαμπρότητες ὀμμάτων· | |
| ὡς ἄνθος τοῦ προσώπου μου τὸ κάλλος ἐμαράνθη, | |
| καὶ πρὸς τὴν γῆν ὁ γηγενὴς καὶ πάλιν ἐπιστρέφω | |
| καὶ τάφος ξένη φυλακή, χωρίζει με τῶν φίλων. | |
| Ὢ παραδόξου συμφορᾶς! ὢ μυστηρίου ξένου! |
