All that I sing is known unto him and to whoso striveth to win the crown + 

Of that which of athlete-contests is chief⁠—yea, Pisa beareth the highest renown + 

In Heracles’ ordinance;⁠—yet was it sweet, that strain for his victory ringing, + 

When mid sacred Athenian rites he twice heard voices the prelude singing + 

Of processional chants, and the limpid fruit of the olive to Hera’s city came + 

In shrines fire-hardened, in pictured vases, unto the folk of heroic fame. + 
