And I, their earnest fellow-worker, to mine heart enfold + 

This glorious race of Lokrians. Song’s honey-dew I shower + 

On that burg of heroic men. Thy praises have I told, + 

Archestratus’ all-comely son, whose victory in that hour + 

Achieved by prowess of thine hand by mine own eyes was seen. + 

Beside the altar crowned in that Olympian demesne + 

I saw him! Goodly was his presence, strength and beauty blended + 

With that spring-bloom which glowed on Ganymede when he ascended + 

Heaven-high above death’s ruthless clutch, by favour of Love’s Queen. + 
