τοῦ μὲν γάρ τε κακοῦ τρέπεται χρὼς ἄλλυδις ἄλλῃ , οὐ δέ οἱ ἀτρέμας ἧσθαι ἐρητύετ' ἐν φρεσὶ θυμός , ἀλλὰ μετοκλάζει καὶ ἐπ' ἀμφοτέρους πόδας ἵζει , ἐν δέ τέ οἱ κραδίη μεγάλα στέρνοισι πατάσσει κῆρας ὀϊομένῳ , πάταγος δέ τε γίγνετ' ὀδόντων ·
ὁ μέν γάρ τε κακός τρέπω χρώς ἄλλυδις ἄλλῃ , οὐ δέ ἕ ἀτρέμας ἧμαι ἐρητύω ἐν φρήν θυμός , ἀλλά μετοκλάζω καί ἐπί ἀμφότερος πούς ἵζω , ἐν δέ τε ἕ καρδία μέγας στέρνον πατάσσω κήρ οἴομαι , πάταγος δέ τε γίγνομαι ὀδούς ·
