Rh Full well ye know what ancient fame

Cleonymus' triumphant chariots claim

Through Labdacus' illustrious line

Their source his sires maternal trace,

And with ancestral riches shine,

Devoting their heroic life

To the four steeds' laborious strife:

While fleeting scenes by turns engage

This ever-varying mortal stage,

Uninjured by the shocks of time,

The gods' bless'd children dwell sublime.
