But bethink thee of Zeus the while thou raisest + 

For Nemean triumph the far-ringing song + 

Soft-swelling. ’Tis meet that the while thou praisest + 

Him who sitteth enthroned the Immortals among, + 

Such praise be chanted in this your land + 

With reverent voice by the chorus-band, + 

For that here of his seed begotten, ’tis sung, + 

Of an Isle-nymph mother hath Aiakus sprung + 
