Hear! for our ploughshare is sundering + 

The glebe-furrows of starry-eyed + 

Aphrodite, where Graces guide + 

Our feet drawing nigh to the shrine + 

At the navel of earth hollow-thundering, + 

Where for Emmenus’ heaven-blest line + 

And for Akragas’ city enfolden + 

By her river, and, more than all, + 

For Xenocrates, riseth the hall + 

Of a treasure-house song-upholden + 

In Apollo’s glen of the golden + 

Gifts gracing his temple-wall. + 
