That olden glory which even on Athens’ fields proclaimed the renown + 

Of a chariot-triumph; then in Adrastus’ Games at Sikyon-town + 

Gave wreathed leaves of such old-time song as these of our own days are. + 

Nor yet at the national contests failed they to ride the curved car; + 

But they joyed in contending with all the Hellenes, in spending on steeds their treasure. + 

But unhonoured, unsung, is the man that spareth his might against others to measure. + 
