O thou, who issuing with majestic tread
From Delian, Lycian, or Thymbræan fanes,
Twang’st thy unerring bow; on Phrygia’s plains,
Apollo, thy celestial influence shed,
Hither come with nightly speed,
The enterprising chief to lead
Through mazes undiscovered by our foes;
Aid thy loved Dardanian line,
For matchless strength was ever thine,
Constructed by thy hand Troy’s ancient bulwarks rose.
