Then on the second day is holden

The struggle of athlete-might,

The crown of the year’s games ended.

There with his brows made bright

With leaves of the myrtle-wreath enfolden

Twin triumphs Melissus blended,

When already among the boys he had won another by heeding diligently

The words of the wisely-counselling tongue

Of the pilot trainer who steered his course: with Melissus Orseas’ name join I

As I shed on them grace of delightsome song.
