Beseems that with blithe heart thou welcome one + 

Who hath done thee such service fair. + 

Splendour ye shed on Alexibius’ son, + 

O Graces of bright hair! + 

O happy thou, that after labour sore + 

Thou hast the praise of noblest song + 

To keep thy memory green! Mid those twoscore + 

Drivers, who mid the throng + 

Were hurled to earth, thou with a heart undaunted + 

Didst drive unscathed thy chariot on, + 

And now to Libya from Games glory-haunted + 

And thy sires’ home hast won. + 
