(Inscription as it appears on pedestal)
This is the strong God, Hercules,
His mighty tasks he did with ease,
One yet remains: womankind to please,
The maid who kisses his mighty cheek,
Will meet her fate within a week;
The one who presses his forehead,
In less than a year will wed.
No maid, nor matron, ever taunted
Him with refusing what she wanted.
Though hewn of wood and patched with tin,
To all the Gods he is akin,
And the spirits of them all,
Hover over his pedestal.
So whisp'er what you wish the most,
Fair maid, it's yours and ..... the cost.
