ἠέρα λεπταλέον μυκτηρόθεν ἀμπνείοντες
ζώομεν, ἠελίου λαμπάδα δερκόμενοι,
πάντες ὅσοι ζῶμεν κατὰ τὸν βίον ὄργανα δ᾽ ἐσμέν,
αὔραις ζῳογόνοις πνεύματα δεχνύμενοι.
εἰ δέ τις οὖν ὀλίγην παλάμῃ σφίγξειεν ἀυτμήν,
ψυχὴν συλήσας εἰς Ἀίδην κατάγει.
οὕτως οὐδὲν ἐόντες, ἀγηνορίῃ τρεφόμεσθα,
πνοιῆς ἐξ ὀλίγης ἠέρα βοσκόμενοι.
