A saying there is among men⁠—“It befits not that great deeds done he amerced of fame + 

And he buried in earth.” The chant celestial is meet the renown of such to acclaim. + 

Awake, awake ye the pealing lyre, awake the flute in the honour ringing + 

Of the crown of contests of steeds which Adrastus founded in Phoebus’ name beside + 

Asopus’ streams! When I tell their renown, in my far-ringing praise shall be magnified + 
