For its chant is a record for ever abiding

Of wide-prevailing achievement’s renown,

On-ushering olive-crowned Psaumis, as riding

His chariot he hasteth, aglow for dividing

His fame with his own Camarina-town.

May our prayers be graciously heard in heaven

As we supplicate blessings yet to be given

Unto him who is strenuous ever to train

The steed, who with wide arms welcomes the guest,

The pure-hearted patriot who strives to attain

Peace⁠—truth do I speak from an unfeigned breast!

Of man is the trial the one proof-test.
