Hymn to Asclepius

This is the hymn to Asclepius, god of health and son of Apollo. Enjoy and I get this hymn from Perseus Digital Library.



The short version of this hymn is the only one available. Which I'm fine with. 


I begin to sing of Asclepius, son of Apollo and healer of sicknesses. In the Dotian plain fair Coronis, daughter of King Phlegyas, bare him, a great joy to men, a soother of cruel pangs.

[5] And so hail to you, lord: in my song I make my prayer to thee!
