τότ' ἄντιτα ἔργα γένοιτο παιδὸς ἐμοῦ , ἐπεὶ οὔ ἑ κακιζόμενόν γε κατέκτα , ἀλλὰ πρὸ Τρώων καὶ Τρωϊάδων βαθυκόλπων ἑσταότ' οὔ τε φόβου μεμνημένον οὔ τ' ἀλεωρῆς .
τότε ἄντιτος ἔργον γίγνομαι παῖς ἐμός , ἐπεί οὐ ἕ κακίζω γε κατακτείνω , ἀλλά πρό Τρώς καί Τρῳάς βαθύκολπος ἵστημι οὐ τε φόβος μιμνήσκω οὐ τε ἀλεωρή .
