Power and beauty and knowledge, -- / Pan, Aphrodite, or Hermes, -- / Whom shall we life-loving mortals / Serve and be happy?
Lo now, your garlanded altars, / 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 / One who adores, with a favour / Threefold in wonder?
