PINDAR.
Pellene, Sicyon, have beheld their might—
Æacidae's well-guarded grove,
Eleusis, Megara, where oft in fight,
As oft in splendid Marathon they strove. 170

Beneath aspiring Ætna's head.
Through Græcia's realm more wreaths to them belong
Than could be number'd in the poet's song.
Still, mighty Jove, preserve their tranquil state, 175
And may increasing joys the virtuous race await! 165
