Roger some help here
Ἀεὶ ὁ Θεὸς ὀ Μέγας γεωμετρεί,
τὸ κύκλου μήκος ίνα ορίση διαμέτρῳ,
παρήγαγεν ἀριθμόν ἀπέραντον,
καὶ ὄν, φεύ, ουδέποτε ὄλον θνητοὶ θὰ εὔρωσι
Níl i mata, a shaoi, eolaíocht nó feidhm
Кто и шутя, и скоро пожелаетъ «Пи» узнать число — ужѣ знаетъ
Fue y cayó. Y queda solamente la inútil cifra con pocos destinos poderosos, tristes devenires sin el más sencillo bien. Idiota, re idiota, sabe que sus encantos son ya latosos decimales. Pobre
Don't know if danes managed one ??

Now I, even I would celebrate
in rhymes inapt, the great
Immortal Syracusan, rivaled nevermore
Who in his wondrous lore
Passed on before,
Left men his guidance how to circles mensurate
– A.C. Orr, Literary Digest, 1906
