CHORUS.¹

Thymbraean, Delian, Birth divine,

That walkest Lycia’s inmost shrine,
225

Come, strong to guard, to guide, to follow,

Come, bow in hand and girt with night,

To help thy Dardans as of old,

When stone by stone thy music rolled—

O conquering Strength, O Sire Apollo!—
230

Young Ilion into towers of light.
