Who from Kleonae brought a perfume-streaming

Festoon of wreaths, and one from marble-gleaming

Renownèd Athens; and again beside

Amphitryon’s sepulchre fame-glorified

Old Kadmus’ sons in Thebe seven-gated

Rained on him flowers with welcome kindly-eyed

In whose love is Aegina consecrated;

For thither as a friend to friends he hied,

As doth a ship into a haven glide,

Came to that burg which welcomes aye the guest,

Came to the Hall of Heracles heaven-blest,
