Power and beauty and knowledge,—
  1
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
  9
Hearten, impel, and inspire
One who adores, with a favour
Threefold in wonder?
