ὡς φάτο: μείδησεν δὲ θεὰ λευκώλενος Ἥρη.
μειδήσασα δὲ, παιδὸς ἐδέξατο χειρὶ κύπελλον:
αὐτὰρ ὃ τοῖς ἄλλοισι θεοῖς ἐνδέξια πᾶσιν
ᾠνοχόει γλυκὺ νέκταρ ἀπο κρητῆρος ἀφύσσων:
ἄσβεστος δ' ὰρ, ἐνῶρτο γέλως μακάρεσσι θεοῖσιν
ὡς ἴ̈δον Ἥφαιστον διὰ δώματα ποιπνύοντα.
So he spoke, and the goddess, white-armed Hera, smiled, and smiling took in her hand the cup from her son. Then he poured wine for all the other gods from left to right, drawing forth sweet nectar from the bowl. And unquenchable laughter arose among the blessed gods, as they saw Hephaestus puffing through the palace.
