When Bellerophon fain would have winged his flight to the mansions on high, + 

And have entered the glorious conclave of Gods with Zeus throned there. + 

Bitter the end is of pleasure attained unlawfully. + 

But to us, O Loxias, thou with thy glory of golden hair + 

Ever blooming in youth, do thou with a gift of thy grace draw nigh, + 

From Pytho’s contests on us bestowing + 

A garland of bright flowers lovely-blowing. + 
