Ἅρμα πυρός, ἔλαβεν Ἠλίαν τὸν θαυμαστὸν νηστείᾳ ὁπλισάμενον. Μωσὴν ἀνέδειξε θεατὴν τῶν ἀῤῥήτων· καὶ ἡμεῖς ταύτην ἑλόντες, ὀψόμεθα τὸν Χριστόν.

Song 8.

Κόρον μισήσασα παθῶν, ἑστιάθητι καλῶν τῇ καρυκείᾳ, καὶ ἡδύνθητι μᾶλλον, τῇ ἐκ νηστείας τρυφῇ, πικρίας ἡδονῶν ἐκκλίνουσα, ταπεινὴ ψυχή μου, καὶ ζήθι εἰς αἰῶνας.
