Stayed by the fold and guarded the sheep.

Faithful, grim hearts! The marvelous glow

Flooded e'en these with its overflow,

Wolfishness turning

Into a yearning

To worship the highest a dog may know.

When dawn brought the shepherds, each to his own,

Melampo, Lupina and Cubilōn

Bounded to meet them,

Frolicked to greet them,
