Hymn to the Muses and Apollo

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.

Hail, children of Zeus! Give honour to my song! And now I will
remember you and another song also.
