Rh Since he to violence and fraud unknown,

Treads the straight paths of equity alone:

His fathers' counsels mindful to pursue,

And keep their bright example still in view.

Then let not inactivity disgrace

The well-earn'd fame of thine illustrious race,

Who sprang from great Callianax, and crown

Th' Eratidæ with splendour all their own.

With joy and festal hymns the streets resound—

But soon, as shifts the ever varying gale,

The storms of adverse fortune may assail—

Then, Rhodians, be your mirth with sober temperance crown'd.
