*original Greek verses:
Ἴψοι δὴ τὸ μέλαθρον,
Υ᾽μήναον, Υ᾽μήναον
ἀέρρατε τέκτονες ἄνδρες,
Υ᾽μήναον, Υ᾽μήναον
γάμβρος ἔρχεται ἶσος Ά᾽ρευϊ,
ἄνδρος μεγάλο πολυ μέσδων
Υ᾽μήναον, Υ᾽μήναον
Τίῳ σ᾽, ὦ φίλε γάμβρε, κάλως ἔικάσδω;
ὄρπακι βραδίνῳ σε μάλιστ᾽ ἔικάσδω
Ὄλβιε γάμβρε, σοὶ μὲν δὴ γάμος, ὠς ἄραο
ἐκτετέλεστ᾽, ἔχεις δὲ πάρθενον ἄν ἄραο
σοὶ χάριεν μὲν ειδoς, ὄππατα δ' ἐστὶ νύμφα,
μέλλιχ', ἔρoς δ' ἐπ' ἰμέρτῳ πρoσώρῳ
τετίμακ' ἔξoχα σ' Αφροδτα,
Χαῖρε δέ, νύμφά, χαῖρε, τίμιε γάμβε, πόλλα.
