Such power as God bestows on thee; + 

And thou on paths of righteousness dost pace + 

And thy discernment eagle-eyed, + 

Inborn with thee, hath wedded to thine heart + 

Honour as to a bride. + 

And this day crowns thy bliss with triumph glorious + 

In Pythian Games by fleet steeds won. + 

Now hast thou welcomed home the chant victorious + 

As sweeps the revel on, + 
