O, well it beseemeth our lips, the awaking + 

Of thanksgiving-praise to the King earth-shaking, + 

Who is also our neighbour, Kronos’ son, + 

He who sped of his kindness our chariots on, + 

Who is God of the swift steed goalward racing. + 

Meet is it withal that our song be praising, + 

Amphitryon, those great sons of thine, + 

And the Minyan valley’s recess divine, + 

And Eleusis’ Grove world-celebrated + 

To the Goddess Demeter consecrated, + 

And Euboea’s course’s curving line. + 
