Then rescued from oblivion are their noble deeds by lay + 

And legend. Oh, the Bassid Clan hath little lack of these, + 

That house of ancient fame! A freight of triumph-song bear they⁠— + 

’Tis all their own. Well may their stately march of victories + 

Inspire the bards who till the fields of the Pierides + 

With plenteous theme for song! ’Neath Phoebus’ temple’s holy shadow + 

One of the blood of this same clan, his strong hands gauntlet-bound, + 

Kallias, won his house a victory in Pytho’s meadow, + 

Who erst with Golden-distaff Leto’s children favour found. + 
