He whom glad Pythian songs immortalize⁠— + 

The victor’s guerdon for all pains. + 

I bat repeat the praises of the wise + 

In these my triumph-strains. + 

His mind, his tongue, transcend his spring of life; + 

In courage as a broad-winged erne + 

Mid weakling fowl, a tower in athlete-strife + 

No strength can overturn. + 

Even from his mother’s knee did he give token + 

Of wings with my Song-queens to soar: + 

Of his car-driving skill the praise is spoken + 

By this the wide world o’er. + 
