Pegasus, son of Poseidon
Sprang forth in a high birth
From Medusa’s severed head
Caught and tamed by Athena
Equus who flies
Carried thunderbolts to Zeus
In thunderstorms his footfalls are heard
As he gallops across the sky
He brought in the dawn
Of each new day with Eos
And made great conquering heroes
Of Perseus and Bellerophon
Pegasus, who with a single strike of his hoof
Created the fountain of Hippocrene
On the top of Mount Helicon
From which flows inspiration for poets
So, now transformed into a starry design
I thank you, Pegasus, my muse
