And so the impotence that is the shame + 

Of tongue-tied bards do I escape. I claim + 

That citizens, friends or foes, shall ne’er conceal + 

Good work accomplished for the common weal, + 

That jealousy set not at nought the rede + 

Of that old Sea-god: “Give whole-hearted praise, + 

If justice claim it, for each noble deed, + 

Even to a foe⁠—dispraise is thy disgrace!” + 

Our maids at Pallas’ yearly feasts saw thee + 

Full oft victorious, and prayed silently, + 

Telesikrates, that such their spouse or son might be. + 
