296 The Mother-goddess and her pdredros

The second fragment runs thus :

Attis, Rhea's son, I'll sing,
Not with blare of trumpeting,
Nor with flute Kouretes shrill
Up the steep of Ide's hill,
Nay, but Phoibos' lyric muse
I must mingle and confuse,
Crying still Euoi Euan,
For our god's a very Pan,
He's a Bakchos, he's a swain
Shepherding the white stars' train4.

took the first fragment to be written in dactylic and anapaestic measures. Hermann
completed it as a set of hexameters. Bergk printed it as eight anapaestic lines followed
by six dactylic tetrameters. Wilamowitz restores it as thirteen dactylic tetrameters, viz.:
