For whom, with freedom on God’s rock grounded, + 

The statutes of Hyllus pledged to maintain, + 

That city hath been by Hiero founded; + 

For the sons of Pamphylus are ever fain⁠— + 

Yea, so is the line of the Herakleid strain + 

’Neath the beetling crags of Taÿgetus dwelling⁠— + 

By Aegimius’ Dorian laws to abide. + 

They gat them Amyklae, and prospered past telling + 

Who from Pindus down-swooping in glory excelling + 

By the Tyndarids dwelt, who on white steeds ride, + 

And their spear-fame as flower-studded meads blossomed wide. + 
