But not for me is legend’s full unfolding, + 

Who see the law of song mine hand withholding: + 

Yea, and the hasting hours brook no delay. + 

A strong spell draws me on to sing the day + 

Of the New Moon that on those Games was shining. + 

Though round thee breast-high plash the deep-sea spray, + 

Stand firm! Strive on ’gainst treacherous foes’ designing! + 

O’er foes triumphant shall we win the port + 

In clear day! One of less heroic sort, + 

With envy evil-eyed, in darkness schemes; + 

But fruitless to the ground shall fall his dreams. + 
