Χορός

Ἀδράστεια μὲν ἁ Διὸς

παῖς εἴργοι στομάτων φθόνον·

φράσω γὰρ δὴ ὅσον μοι ψυχᾷ

προσφιλές ἐστιν εἰπεῖν.
345

ἥκεις, ὦ ποταμοῦ παῖ,

ἥκεις, ἐπλάθης Φιλίου πρὸς αὐλὰν

ἀσπαστός, ἐπεί σε χρόνῳ

Πιερὶς μάτηρ ὅ τε καλλιγέφυ-

ρος ποταμὸς πορεύει

Chorus

May Nemesis, daughter of Zeus, check the word that may offend; for lo! I will utter all that it is dear

to my soul to say. You have come, O son of the river god, you have come, welcome in your advent, to the halls of Friendship, since late in time your Pierian mother and Strymon, river with fair bridges,
345

are sending you to us.

CHORUS.

Now Adrasteia¹ be near and guard

Our lips from sin, lest the end be hard!

But he cometh, he cometh, the Child of the River!

The pride of my heart it shall roll unbarred.
345

We craved thy coming; yea, need was strong

In the Hall of thy lovers, O child of Song;

Thy mother the Muse and her fair-bridged River

They held thee from us so long, so long!
