Zeus, hurler of thunderbolts tireless-winging, + 

Most Highest, returneth thy Feast-tide fair + 

To send me to wed with the lyre subtle-ringing + 

My song: of the chiefest of all Games singing + 

To the victor’s triumph my witness I bear. + 

Yea, the hearts of the good are with joy ever leaping + 

When friends a harvest of triumph are reaping. + 

O Kronos’ Son, whose dominion is o’er + 

Etna, the wind-scourged burden laid + 

On Typho the demon of heads five-score, + 

Receive thou this revel-procession arrayed + 

For a victorv won by the Graces’ aid. + 
