Fragment 99
99Happy bridegroom, now is thy wedding come to thy desire, and thou hast the maiden of thy desire.
Ὄλβιε γάμβρε, σοὶ μὲν δὴ γάμος, ὠς ἄραο,
ἐκτετέλεστ’, ἔχῃς δὲ πάρθενον, ἂν ἄραο.
Happy bridegroom, thou art blest
With blisses far beyond the rest,
For thou hast won
The chosen one,
The girl thou lovest best.
— Frederick Tennyson.
Quoted by Hephaestion, along with the following, to exemplify metres; both fragments seem to belong to the same ode.
