Where his home ’twixt thy temples doth stand, which face him + 

At his goings forth, as with blessing laden: + 

Like a chariot’s twin yokes, so they embrace him. + 

And thee, O Heracles ever-blest, + 

It beseemeth to win to grant his request + 

Hera’s Lord and the grey-eyed Maiden. + 

For oft upon mortals canst thou bestow + 

Help in the hour of the bitter woe + 

Of hopelessly tangled perplexities. + 

Oh wouldst thou but link with the life of these + 

All steadfast strength, through youth’s glad day + 

Weaving its web of happiness still + 

Till an easeful eld thy task fulfil! + 

May their children’s children possess for aye + 
