XXV. TO THE MUSES AND APOLLO (7 lines) (ll. 1-5) I will begin with the Muses and Apollo and Zeus. For it is through the Muses and Apollo that there are singers upon the earth and players upon the lyre; but kings are from Zeus. Happy is he whom the Muses love: sweet flows speech from his lips. (ll. 6-7) Hail, children of Zeus! Give honour to my song! And now I will remember you and another song also.
