Chorus

And spotted lynxes couched amid his sheep in joy to hear his melody,

and the lions’ tawny troop left the glen of Othrys and came; came too the dappled fawn on nimble foot from beyond the crested pines and frisked about thy lyre, O Phoebus,
580

for very joy at thy gladsome minstrelsy.
585

Lüchse;

Die Schluchten des Othrys verlassend, kam der Löwen

Feuergelbe Horde;

Um deine Cither tanzten dahin

Mit fluchtigem Fuß dahereilend,

Froh der heiteren Lieder.
