For his pledge to exalt her crowns of wealthy cities, this Sicily harvest-teeming;
And a people Kronion bestowed on her, wooers of war in bronze-hammered harness gleaming,
A folk of the spear and the steed, to be wedded full oft to Olympia’s olive-leaf golden:—
Lo, I have lighted on theme after theme, never falsely, but aye by the truth have I holden.
