Kind welcome to that chariot-driving band + 

With gifts and sacrifice they gave + 

Whom Aristoteles brought to Libyan land + 

In swift ships o’er the wave, + 

Cleaving a deep path through the sea, and made + 

Greater the temple-groves divine, + 

And for the festival-processions laid + 

A paved road’s level line + 

For trampling steeds, and pilgrims magnifying + 

Apollo, Helper of our race. + 

There now in death apart is Battus lying + 

Hard by the market-place. + 
