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

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

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

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

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