Muses from Pieres, famed for lays,
Hence, incite the God, thine father in hymn:
Through him mortal men are rumored
Or forgotten, spoken or speechless
According to his mighty will. Easily
He strengthens, easily enfeebles
Strength, with facility diminishes
The grand, makes lucid the obscure;
He deftly straightens scholars,
cramps the athlete's foot: Zeus of lofty
Fulminations, whose dwelling is on high.
Heed, by sight and sound, forge custom
Out of justice, Thou I beg; but as for you,
Perses, I might fable you some truth.
