Chorus
The maids of Delos raise their song of joy, circling round the temple gates in honor of Leto's fair son,
[690]
the graceful dancer; so I with my old lips will cry aloud songs of joy at your palace-doors, like the swan, aged singer; for there is a good
[695]
theme for minstrelsy; he is the son of Zeus; yet high above his noble birth tower his deeds of prowess, for his toil secured this life of calm for man,
[700]
having destroyed all fearsome beasts.
