What man soever hath prospered in winning prizes of high renown + 

In the Games, or is mighty in wealth, who yet in his spirit crusheth down + 

Pestilent arrogance, worthy is he to be graced with his townsmen’s praise; + 

For of thee, O Zeus, all excellence cometh that mortal men doth upraise; + 

And longer abideth their bliss who reverence thee: with the froward-hearted + 

Through life it abides not, but lo, as a suddenly vanishing dream hath departed. + 
