If by words I might but persuade the hearts of these two, and bring them back to be joined together in love, ever should I be called dear by them and worthy of reverence.
εἰ κείνω ἐπέεσσι παραιπεπιθοῦσα φίλον κῆρ εἰς εὐνὴν ἀνέσαιμι ὁμωθῆναι φιλότητι , αἰεί κέ σφι φίλη τε καὶ αἰδοίη καλεοίμην .
εἰ κεῖνος ἔπος παραπείθω φίλος κῆρ εἰς εὐνή ἀνέζω ὁμόω φιλότης , ἀεί ἄν σφεῖς φίλος τε καί αἰδοῖος καλέω .
