O gentle-hearted Queen of Peace, thou Daughter

Of Righteousness, to greatness dost thou raise

Cities: of counsel calm and war’s mad slaughter

The master-keys thou holdest. Of thy grace

Welcome the praise

Of Aristomenes, in athlete-strife

Won at the Pythian Games. Thou knowest truly

How to receive and give in season duly

The kindly courtesies that sweeten life.
