With reins unsnapped through all that hallowed space + 

Around the courses twelve he swung, + 

Nor car nor harness brake he in the race, + 

But dedicate hath hung + 

On Phoebus’ wall the craftsmen’s masteries + 

Riding whereon he passed ere then + 

The hill of Krisa to the plain that lies + 

In the God’s bosomed glen. + 

The cypress shrine now hath them in possession + 

By that self-moulded statue placed + 

Which Cretan bowmen ’neath the roof Parnassian + 

Unto the God upraised. + 
