Queen of the beauty of youth, thou herald of Aphrodite’s celestial yearning, + 

Who on eyelids of boys and of maidens enthroned, in hands spell-weaving for ever art turning + 

Our destinies to and fro, unto this man allotting joy, and to that man grief, + 

Sweet is it for one who hath transgressed never in aught that he doeth the right’s due measure + 

To be suffered to grasp the fulfilment of life’s most noble aims, of his heart’s dream-treasure. + 
