My heart, my heart cries out to hear thee

Name the lost friends I loved so dearly!

Chorus.

One other name compels my grief,

Xanthus, of Mardian men the chief;

Ancháres the warlike, and lords of the steed

Diaexis, Arsáces that ride with speed?

Lythimnas, Kygdabatas, where be they,

And Tolmos eager for the fray?

Not, I wis, where they wont to be,
