Χορός
εὔδαιμον φῦλον πτηνῶν
οἰωνῶν, οἳ χειμῶνος μὲν
1090χλαίνας οὐκ ἀμπισχνοῦνται:
οὐδ᾽ αὖ θερμὴ πνίγους ἡμᾶς
ἀκτὶς τηλαυγὴς θάλπει:
ἀλλ᾽ ἀνθηρῶν λειμώνων
φύλλων τ᾽ ἐν κόλποις ναίω,
1095ἡνίκ᾽ ἂν ὁ θεσπέσιος ὀξὺ μέλος ἀχέτας
θάλπεσι μεσημβρινοῖς ἡλιομανὴς βοᾷ.
χειμάζω δ᾽ ἐν κοίλοις ἄντροις
νύμφαοις οὐρείαις ξυμπαίζων:
ἠρινά τε βοσκόμεθα παρθένια
1100λευκότροφα μύρτα Χαρίτων τε κηπεύματα.
Aristophanes. Aristophanes Comoediae, ed. F.W. Hall and W.M. Geldart, vol. 2. F.W. Hall and W.M. Geldart. Oxford. Clarendon Press, Oxford. 1907.
