“There shall she bear the son whom thou hast given, + 

Whom glorious Hermes in his hour of birth + 

Shall from his mother take, and bear to Earth + 

And to the Hours, the splendour-throned in Heaven. + 

And while upon their knees thy child is lying + 

Soft-cradled, these between his lips shall pour + 

Ambrosia and nectar; so undying, + 

Even as a God, shall he be evermore, + 

As Zeus, as holy Apollo: sweetest, dearest + 

To all his friends, to their hearts ever nearest. + 

Nomeus, ‘flock-warder,’ Agreus, these shall name + 

Thy son, as Aristaius those acclaim.” + 

His words spurred on the God’s heart passion-thrilling + 

To bring to pass the bridal’s sweet fulfilling. + 
