The long night she held back at the end of its course, and likewise stayed the golden-throned Dawn at the streams of Oceanus, and would not suffer her to yoke her swift-footed horses that bring light to men, Lampus and Phaethon, who are the colts that bear the Dawn.
νύκτα μὲν ἐν περάτῃ δολιχὴν σχέθεν , Ἠῶ δ' αὖτε ῥύσατ' ἐπ' Ὠκεανῷ χρυσόθρονον , οὐ δ' ἔα ἵππους ζεύγνυσθ' ὠκύποδας , φάος ἀνθρώποισι φέροντας , Λάμπον καὶ Φαέθονθ' , οἵ τ' Ἠῶ πῶλοι ἄγουσι .
νύξ μέν ἐν περάτη δολιχός ἔχω , ἠώς δέ αὖτε ἐρύω2 ἐπί Ὠκεανός χρυσόθρονος , οὐ δέ ἐάω ἵππος ζεύγνυμι ὠκύπους , φάος ἄνθρωπος φέρω , Λάμπος καί Φαέθων , ὅς τε ἠώς πῶλος ἄγω .
