  1. γαῖαν ὕδει φύρειν, ἐν δʼ ἀνθρώπου θέμεν αὐδὴν
  2. καὶ σθένος, ἀθανάτῃς δὲ θεῇς εἰς ὦπα ἐίσκειν
  3. παρθενικῆς καλὸν εἶδος ἐπήρατον· αὐτὰρ Ἀθήνην
  4. ἔργα διδασκῆσαι, πολυδαίδαλον ἱστὸν ὑφαίνειν·
  5. καὶ χάριν ἀμφιχέαι κεφαλῇ χρυσέην Ἀφροδίτην
  6. καὶ πόθον ἀργαλέον καὶ γυιοβόρους μελεδώνας·
