1With sacrifice we seek to thee fair cherisher of manly might In mansons of the lofty heavens.

2Drink gladdening, crusher of the bold, praiseworthy, with most mighty sway, Destroyer of a hundred forts.

3Hence riches came to thee, the King, O sapient one: the strong-winged bird, Unwearied, brought thee from the sky.

4And now, sent forth, he hath attained to mighty power and majesty, Active and ready to assist.

5That each may see the light, the bird brought us the guard of Law, the friend O fall, the speeder through the air.
