†Anon, the cheering light,
New kindled, in this house shall shine once more,
What time, with lustral rite,
From the polluted hearth is purged the gore,
And Atè put to flight. With form benign,
Fortune, long time an alien, comes to claim

whom Apollo, the god of Parnassus, that haunts the mighty cavern of the earth, upon the summit, hath led, without guile he comes upon one guileful, halting in delay. The divinity is in a manner prevented from aiding the wicked. Meet it is that we revere the power of the celestials.

Im finstern Spalt der Parnassos
verhiefs Apollon dem Truge
der Rache Gelingen.
960 Nicht trügt er; des Blutes Spuren,
des altvergoss'nen, erspäht er.
Was göttliches Wort gebot,
kann nimmer ein Frevel sein.
Gehorche den Herren des Himmels:
sie lohnen's.

For her the god who dwells in deep recess
1060
Beneath Parnassus' brow,
Summons with loud acclaim
To rise, though late and lame,
And come with craft that worketh righteousness.
For even o'er Powers divine this law is strong—
1065
Thou shall not serve the wrong.
To that which ruleth heaven beseems it that we bow.

Solches hat Loxias, der an Parnassos' Höh'n
In Erdschluchten tief waltet, an Pytho's Herd,
Der Erde heiligem Mittelraum,
Im Wahrspruch enthüllt.

Gelte das Gotteswort, daß ich den Bösen nie

Ehre den König fromm, der im Olympos herrscht!
