So he won for his bride that maiden peerless; + 

For her terrible father he overcame. + 

And she bare to him six sons battle-fearless, + 

Captains of war-hosts, thirsting for fame. + 

And his portion assured hath Pelops still + 

Where the priests the blood of the sacrifice spill; + 

And unto his tomb resorteth the throng + 

Of strangers from far who have heard his story. + 

From his grave-mound his spirit beholdeth the glory + 

Of the mighty Olympian strife of the strong + 

In the course that from Pelops its name hath ta’en, + 

Wherein be contending the swift to run + 

And the thews that be mighty in wrestling-strain. + 

And whoso therein hath the victory won, + 

Thereafter on through his life-days ever + 

Sweetly his peace shall flow as a river + 

Blissfully gliding on + 
