Power and beauty and knowledge—

Pan, Aphrodite, or Hermes—

Whom shall we life-loving mortals

Serve and be happy?

Lo now, your garlanded altars, 5

Are they not goodly with flowers?

Have ye not honour and pleasure

In lovely Lesbos?

Will ye not, therefore, a little

Hearten, impel, and inspire 10

One who adores, with a favour

Threefold in wonder?
