Χορός
αἰαῖ αἰαῖ, ποίοις δ᾽ οἴκτοις
τὰν σὰν λύμαν ἐξαιάζεις;
οὐκ Ἰδαίοις ἱστοῖς κερκίδα
200δινεύουσ᾽ ἐξαλλάξω.
νέατον τεκέων σώματα λεύσσω,
νέατον ...
μόχθους ἕξω κρείσσους,
ἢ λέκτροις πλαθεῖσ᾽ Ἑλλάνων ...
（ἔρροι νὺξ αὕτα καὶ δαίμων.）
205ἢ Πειρήνας ὑδρευσομένα
πρόσπολος οἰκτρὰ σεμνῶν ὑδάτων.
τὰν κλεινὰν εἴθ᾽ ἔλθοιμεν
Θησέως εὐδαίμονα χώραν.
210μὴ γὰρ δὴ δίναν γ᾽ Εὐρώτα,
τὰν ἐχθίσταν θεράπναν Ἑλένας,
ἔνθ᾽ ἀντάσω Μενέλᾳ δούλα,
τῷ τᾶς Τροίας πορθητᾷ.
