Orpheus

“To Selene (Moon)Hear, Goddess queen, diffusing silver light, bull-horn'd and wand'ring thro' the gloom of Night.With stars surrounded, and with circuit wide Night's torch extending, thro' the heav'ns you ride:Female and Male with borrow'd rays you shine, and now full-orb'd, now tending to decline.Mother of ages, fruit-producing Moon [Mene], whose amber orb makes Night's reflected noon:Lover of horses, splendid, queen of Night, all-seeing pow'r bedeck'd with starry light.Lover of vigilance, the foe of strife, in peace rejoicing, and a prudent life:Fair lamp of Night, its ornament and friend, who giv'st to Nature's works their destin'd end.Queen of the stars, all-wife Diana hail! Deck'd with a graceful robe and shining veil;Come, blessed Goddess, prudent, starry, bright, come moony-lamp with chaste and splendid light,Shine on these sacred rites with prosp'rous rays, and pleas'd accept thy suppliant's mystic praise.”

“To HeraO Royal Hera of majestic mien, aerial-form'd, divine, Zeus' blessed queen,Thron'd in the bosom of cærulean air, the race of mortals is thy constant care.The cooling gales thy pow'r alone inspires, which nourish life, which ev'ry life desires.Mother of clouds and winds, from thee alone producing all things, mortal life is known:All natures share thy temp'rament divine, and universal sway alone is thine.With founding blasts of wind, the swelling sea and rolling rivers roar, when shook by thee.Come, blessed Goddess, fam'd almighty queen, with aspect kind, rejoicing and serene.”
