Χορός
μέλει, φόβῳ δ᾽ οὐχ ὑπνώσσει κέαρ:
γείτονες δὲ καρδίας
290μέριμναι ζωπυροῦσι τάρβος
τὸν ἀμφιτειχῆ λεών,
δράκοντας ὥς τις τέκνων
ὑπερδέδοικεν λεχαίων δυσευνάτορας
πάντρομος πελειάς.
295τοὶ μὲν γὰρ ποτὶ πύργους
πανδαμεὶ πανομιλεὶ
στείχουσιν. τί γένωμαι;
τοὶ δ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἀμφιβόλοισιν
ἰάπτουσι πολίταις
300χερμάδ᾽ ὀκριόεσσαν.
παντὶ τρόπῳ, Διογενεῖς
θεοί, πόλιν καὶ στρατὸν
Καδμογενῆ ῥύεσθε.
