Also storte sie Mahl' und Lust
Den Göttern und Menschen; da stillt Zeus Deo's furchtbaren Grimm:
„Kommt herbei," sprach er, herbei, hehre Huldgöttinnen, eilt!
Um die Jungfrau hat uns Deo gegrollt; o verscheuchet den
Gram
Ihr durch Tone der Freud'; im Chor stimmt, o Musen,
1280
Und nehmt lautdrohnendes Erz,
Hymnen ihr an!
Nehmt rindshåutene Pauken zur Hand!" Da lacht unter den Göttern
Aphrodita, der Göttinnen schönste, zuerst,
Nimmt in die Hånde dann die tieftinende Flote,
Und freut sich des Klanges.
1285
Zweite Gegenstrophe.
