That cry on the air was not wasted; + 

But withstanding a mightier alone, + 

His father’s life with his own + 

That godlike son redeemed, + 

And death’s cup of glory he tasted. + 

So in after days he seemed + 

To the sons of each new generation + 

In those old times bygone + 

Ever the noblest son + 

In filial love’s consecration. + 

Now⁠—by none out of any nation + 

Is Thrasybulus outdone + 
