σὺ δ’ ἐκ μὲν οἴκων πατρίων ἔπλευσας

μαινομένᾳ κραδίᾳ, διδύμους ὁρίσασα πόντου

πέτρας· ἐπὶ δὲ ξένᾳ

ναίεις χθονί, τᾶς ἀνάνδρου

κοίτας ὀλέσασα λέκτρον,

τάλαινα, φυγὰς δὲ χώρας

ἄτιμος ἐλαύνῃ.

Du kamst, hinwegschiffend vom Vaterhause,

Rasend in Liebe das Herz, und die doppelten Meeresklippen¹

Durchmessend, und wohnest nun

In Fremdlingesland, des dden

Ehbettes Genossen missend,

Unselige, wirst getrieben

In schnode Verbannung.
