Never in me be such spirit as this, O Father Zeus! May I still be cleaving + 

To the paths of a life of innocency, and so unto death may I pass down, leaving + 

To my sons no name of evil repute! Some pray for gold, and others for land + 

Without limit: be I to my fellow-men well-pleasing, ever extolling the lover + 

Of righteousness, ever rebuking the doer of wrong, till the earth my limbs shall cover. + 
