Mother of contests golden-crowned, O Queen + 

Of truth, Olympia, where from sacrifice + 

Diviners seek the will of Zeus to glean, + 

Who hurls white-flickering lightnings through the skies, + 

To wot if he hath any word of grace + 

For men whose hearts yearn hotly to attain + 

To high achievement, and a breathing-space + 

From toil to gain. + 
