840Ἔρως Ἔρως, ὃς τὰ Δαρδάνεια μέλαθρά ποτ᾽ ἦλθες
οὐρανίδαισι μέλων,
ὡς τότε μὲν μεγάλως Τροίαν ἐπύργωσας, θεοῖσι
845κῆδος ἀναψάμενος. τὸ μὲν οὖν Διὸς
οὐκέτ᾽ ὄνειδος ἐρῶ:
τὸ τᾶς δὲ λευκοπτέρου
φίλιον Ἁμέρας βροτοῖς
850φέγγος ὀλοὸν εἶδε γαῖαν,
εἶδε περγάμων ὄλεθρον,
τεκνοποιὸν ἔχουσα τᾶσδε
γᾶς πόσιν ἐν θαλάμοις,
855ὃν ἀστέρων τέθριππος ἔλα-
βε χρύσεος ὄχος ἀναρπάσας,
ἐλπίδα γᾷ πατρίᾳ μεγάλαν: τὰ θεῶν δὲ
φίλτρα φροῦδα Τροίᾳ.
