Even they about whose hair the silvery-gleaming + 

Adorning of the olive-leaf is laid + 

By the Aetolian judge’s righteous deeming + 

The victor’s brows to shade, + 

According unto Heracles’ ancient hest. + 

From Ister’s shadowy springs he brought this tree, + 

When fared Amphitryon’s son on perilous quest + 

And gave Olympia’s games this fairest, best + 

Trophy of victory. + 
