Second Semi-Chorus
singing
Oh! Pallas, guardian of Athens, you, who reign over the most pious city, the most powerful, the [585] richest in warriors and in poets, hasten to my call, bringing in your train our faithful ally in all our expeditions and combats, Victory, who smiles on our choruses [590] and fights with us against our rivals. Oh! goddess! manifest yourself to our sight; this day more than ever we deserve that you should ensure our triumph.
