Poor fools! who long for happiness,

But will not see nor hear the divine commands.


But do thou, O Zeus, all-bestower, cloud-compeller!

Ruler of thunder! guard men from sad error.

Father! dispel the clouds of the soul, and let us follow

The laws of thy great and just reign!

That we may be honored, let us honor thee again,

Chanting thy great deeds, as is proper for mortals.

For nothing can be better for gods or men
