“Ἡδύ, φίλοι, μείδημα τὸ Λαΐδος: ἡδὺ κατ᾽ αὖ τῶν  ἠπιοδινήτων δάκρυ χέει βλεφάρων.χθιζά μοι ἀπροφάσιστον ἐπέστενεν, ἐγκλιδὸν ὤμῳ  ἡμετέρῳ κεφαλὴν δηρὸν ἐρεισαμένη:μυρομένην δ᾽ ἐφίλησα: τὰ δ᾽ ὡς δροσερῆς ἀπὸ πηγῆς  δάκρυα μιγνυμένων πῖπτε κατὰ στομάτων.εἶπε δ᾽ ἀνειρομένῳ, “Τίνος εἵνεκα δάκρυα λείβεις;”  “Δείδια μή με λίπῃς: ἐστὲ γὰρ ὁρκαπάται.””
