Hymn 16 To Asclepius

Perseus Greek · Perseus Greek · 2 sections

1. 1

   I begin to sing of Asclepius, son of Apollo and healer of sicknesses. In the Dotian plain fair Coronis, daughter of King Phlegyas, bare him, a great joy to men, a soother of cruel pangs.

2. 5

   And so hail to you, lord: in my song I make my prayer to thee!
