Ἴων

ἄγʼ, ὦ νεηθαλὲς ὦ

καλλίστας προπόλευμα δά-

φνας, ἃ τὰν Φοίβου θυμέλαν

σαίρεις ὑπὸ ναοῖς,
115

κήπων ἐξ ἀθανάτων,

ἵνα δρόσοι τέγγουσʼ ἱεραί,

ῥοὰν ἀέναον

παγᾶν ἐκπροϊεῖσαι,

μυρσίνας ἱερὰν φόβαν·
120

ᾇ σαίρω δάπεδον θεοῦ

παναμέριος ἅμʼ ἁλίου

πτέρυγι θοᾷ

λατρεύων τὸ κατʼ ἦμαρ.

ὦ Παιὰν ὦ Παιάν,
125

εὐαίων εὐαίων

εἴης, ὦ Λατοῦς παῖ.

Ion

Come, thou tender laurel-shoot, gathered from gardens divine to wait upon the glorious god,

thou that sweepest clean the altar of Phoebus hard by his shrine, where holy founts, that ever gush with ceaseless flow,
115

bedew the myrtle’s hallowed spray wherewith I cleanse the temple-floor the livelong day, so soon as the swift sun-god wings his flight on high, in my daily ministration.
120

Hail Paean, prince of healing! blest, ah! doubly blest be thou, child of Latona!
125

Mein Diener, blühendes Reis,

Komm, du Sprosse des schönsten Lorbeers,

Der Phobos' heilige Flur
115

Mir såubert am Tempel,

Aus göttlichen Gårten gepfluckt,

Wo des Bornes heiliger Thau,

Der den ewigen Quell herauf

Sendet zum Lichte,
120

Tränkt der Myrte geweihtes Laub:

Mit dir såubr' ich des Phobos Grund,

Sobald sich der Sonn' eilender Fittig morgens hebt,

Dien' ihm tåglich, dem Gotte.

Påan, Paan, sei gluckselig, stets gluckselig,¹
125

Herrlicher Sohn der Leto!
