*original Greek verses:

Ζὰ τ᾽ ἐλεξάμαν ὄναρ Κυπρογένηα
καὶ ποθήω καὶ μάομαι

Αστερες μέν ἀμφι κάλαν σελάνναν
ἆιψ ἀπυκρύπτοισι φάεννον εἶδος,
ὄπποτα πλήθοισα μάλιστα λάμπῃ
γᾶν ἐπὶ παῖσαν - ἀργυρια

Στᾶθι κἄντα, φίλος,
καὶ τὰν ἔπ᾽ ὄσσοισ ἀμπέτασον χάριν

Ἦρος ἄγγελος ἰμερόφωνος ἄήδων

Ὤσ δὲ παῖς πεδα μάτερα πεπτερύγωμαι

Ἕτίναξεν Ἕρος φρένας
ὠς ἄνεμος κατ ὄρος δρύσιν ἐμπέτων

Ἄγι δή, χέλυ δῖά μοι
φωνάεσσα γένοιο

έσπερε, πάντα φέρεις ὄσα φαίνολις ἐσκέδασ᾽ Aύως,
φέρεις οἴν, φέρεις αἶγα, φέρεις - ἄπυ ματέρι παῖδα.

Παρθενία, παρθενία, ποῖ με λίποισ᾽ ἀποίχῃ;
Οὐκέτι ἤξω πρὸσ σέ, οὐκέτι ἤξω

Kατθάνην δ' ἴμερός τις ἔχει με καὶ
λωτίνοις δροσόεντας ὄ-
χθοις ἴδην Αχέροντος

A δ' ἐέρσα κάλα κέχυται τεθάλαισι
δὲ βρόδα κἄπαλ' ἄνθρυσκα
καὶ μελίλωτος ἀνθεμώδης

Ἦλθες, κάλ' ἐπόησας, ἔγω δὲ σ'ἐμαόμαν

Δεῦτέ νυν ἄβραι Χάριτες, καλλίκομοί τε Μοῖσαι
Βροδοπάχεες ἄγναι Χάριτες, δεῦτε Δίος κόραι

ποικίλλεται μὲν γαῖα πολυστέφανος

Δεῦτέ νυν ἄβραι Χάριτες, καλλίκομοί τε Μοῖσαι
Ἕλθε δὴ σὐ πότνι' ἔοισα Κύπρι,
χρυσίασιν ἐν κυλίκεσσιν ἄβρως
συμμεμείχμένον θαλίαισι νέκταρ
οἰνοχόοισα

εἰς ἀεί. εἰς ἀεί. εἰς ἀεί....

Αἴ θ᾽ ἔγω, χρυσοστέφαν᾽ Ἀφρόδιτα,
τόνδε τὸν πάλον λαχόην
