Oh beloved Hyacinth, my sparkling youth so fine
More brilliant than all objects that shine
Fit for erecting a sacrificial shrine
Let my whole self be only thine
Harken all of you to Apollo’s Serenade for Hyacinth!
Oh citizens of Sparta, offer me your finest *****
In my arms his amorous body will never shrink
Never will he be placed on peril’s brink
His glorious soul under my care will never stink
Harken all of you to Apollo’s Serenade for Hyacinth!
Oh beloved Hyacinth, you will learn a lot in my guidance
For any man of the arts, this is the greatest chance
In music & sports, you’ll surely enhance
You can have the future the power to glance
Harken all of you to Apollo’s Serenade for Hyacinth!
Oh gods & goddesses, behold Hyacinth evolve better

His adorable assemblage will go stronger
If you give him to me and no other
Harken all of you to Apollo’s Serenade for Hyacinth!
Oh beloved Hyacinth, in my lap you’ll have the greatest nourishment

From me so many he’ll know & get
To you I’ll unveil his being’s greatest secret!
