Ὄλβιε γάμβρε, σοὶ μὲν δὴ γάμοσ, ὠσ ἄραο
ἐκτετέλεστ᾽ ἔχεισ δὲ πάρθενον, ἄν ἄραο. [transcription]

Happy bridegroom! Now has come thy wedding as thou wished, and thou hast the maiden of thy desire.

Thou happy bridegroom! Now has dawned
That day of days supreme,
When in thine arms thou'lt hold at last
The maiden of thy dream.

From Hepaestion.
