Heracles lifted his voice, and he spake as speaketh a seer: + 

“Lo, thou shalt have the son thou desirest, Telamon; + 

And after the name of the bird that thou sawest but now appear, + 

So shalt thou name him, Aias, a world-famed mighty one, + 

In the battle-toils of thy people a warrior deadly strong.” + 

So spake he, and sat him down. But for me it were all too long + 

Of all their achievements to tell. I came, O Queen of Song, + 

For Phylakidas, Pytheas, Euthymenes, the march to array + 

Of the triumph-procession, and brief, after Argive wont, be the lay. + 
