Ἔρως
ἀλλ᾽ εἰ καί τι ἥμαρτον, ὦ Ζεῦ, σύγγνωθί μοι: παιδίον γάρ εἰμι καὶ ἔτι ἄφρων.

Ζεύς
σὺ παιδίον ὁ Ἔρως, ὃς ἀρχαιότερος εἶ πολὺ Ἰαπετοῦ; ἢ διότι μὴ πώγωνα μηδὲ πολιὰς ἔφυσας, διὰ ταῦτα καὶ βρέφος ἀξιοῖς νομίζεσθαι γέρων καὶ πανοῦργος ὤν;

Ἔρως
τί δαί σε μέγα ἠδίκησα ὁ γέρων ὡς φὴς ἐγώ, διότι με καὶ πεδῆσαι διανοῇ;

Ζεύς
σκόπει, ὦ κατάρατε, εἰ μικρά, ὃς ἐμοὶ μὲν οὕτως ἐντρυφᾷς, ὥστε οὐδέν ἐστιν ὃ μὴ πεποίηκάς με, σάτυρον, ταῦρον, χρυσόν, κύκνον, αἰετόν: ἐμοῦ δὲ ὅλως οὐδεμίαν ἥντινα ἐρασθῆναι πεποίηκας, οὐδὲ συνῆκα ἡδὺς γυναικὶ διὰ σὲ γεγενημένος, ἀλλά με δεῖ μαγγανεύειν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὰς καὶ κρύπτειν ἐμαυτόν: αἱ δὲ τὸν μὲν ταῦρον ἢ κυκνον φιλοῦσιν, ἐμὲ δὲ ἢν ἴδωσι, τεθνᾶσιν ὑπὸ τοῦ δέους. [p. 74]
