| Empire on empire towering in arrogance | B |
| Time at whose finger invisibly commanding | C |
| Their bannered battalions marched to oblivion | D |

| Time stays motionless when are heard the voices | E |
| Of Hellas proclaiming over a wondering world | F |
| Wisdom and joy and the radiance of reality | G |
| Disclosed as in an eternal sunrise | H |

| Hellas holding the ancient passes | E |
| Stands for the world's cause knowing it invincible | J |
| Knowing that beside her stand the Immortals | K |
