“Do thou range thyself mid the battle-strain + 

From my man-quelling spear afar!” + 

O that to fit praise I may attain + 

Of those that your champions are, + 

As, bearing my burden of glory’s guerdon, + 

I speed in the Song-queen’s car! + 

And may Daring attend me close at my side + 

And Power all-compassing! + 

For hither at friendship’s call have I hied, + 

And at Chivalry’s summons I sing + 

Of Lampromachus telling in prowess excelling + 

In the Isthmian athlete-ring. + 
