Δικαιόπολις
ἐμέλλετ᾽ ἄρα πάντως ἀνήσειν τῆς βοῆς,
ὀλίγου τ᾽ ἀπέθανον ἄνθρακες Παρνήθιοι,
καὶ ταῦτα διὰ τὴν ἀτοπίαν τῶν δημοτῶν.
350ὑπὸ τοῦ δέους δὲ τῆς μαρίλης μοι συχνὴν
ὁ λάρκος ἐνετίλησεν ὥσπερ σηπία.
δεινὸν γὰρ οὕτως ὀμφακίαν πεφυκέναι
τὸν θυμὸν ἀνδρῶν ὥστε βάλλειν καὶ βοᾶν
ἐθέλειν τ᾽ ἀκοῦσαι μηδὲν ἴσον ἴσῳ φέρον,
355ἐμοῦ 'θέλοντος ὑπὲρ ἐπιξήνου λέγειν
ὑπὲρ Λακεδαιμονίων ἅπανθ᾽ ὅσ᾽ ἂν λέγω:
καίτοι φιλῶ γε τὴν ἐμὴν ψυχὴν ἐγώ.
