Homer. Hesiod, The Homeric Hymns and Homerica. Evelyn-White, Hugh G. (Hugh Gerard), editor. London: William Heinmann; New York: The Macmillan Co., 1914.
- all ye who dwell in the high city of Cyme, the lovely maiden,
- hard by the foothills of lofty Sardene,
- ye who drink the heavenly water of the divine stream,
- eddying Hermus, whom deathless Zeus begot.
- Speedily may my feet bear me to some town of righteous men;
- for their hearts are generous and their wit is best.
