Chorus: The stately column, and the gorgeous dome
Raised to the gods, are not the boast alone
Of our magnificent Athens; nor the statues
That grace her streets; this temple of the god,
Son of Latona, beauteous to behold,
Beams the resplendent light of both her children.

Ion: Turn thine eyes this way; look, the son of Jove
Lops with his golden scimitar the heads
Of the Lernean Hydra: view it well.

Chorus: I see him.

Ion: And this other standing nigh,
Who snatches from the fire the blazing brand.

Chorus: What is his name? the subject, on the web
Design'd, these hands have wrought in ductile gold.
