The Fumigation from Storax. (Try
Amber, Liquidamber, or Benzoin)
Etherial father, mighty Titan, hear,
Great fire of Gods and men, whom
all revere:
Endued with various council, pure
and strong,
to whom perfection and decrease
belong.
Consumed by thee all forms that
hourly die,
By thee restored, their former place
supply;
The world immense in everlasting
chains,
Strong and ineffable thy power
contains;
Father of vast eternity, divine,
O mighty Saturn, various speech is
thine:
Blossom of earth and of starry skies,
Husband of Rhea, and Prometheus
wise.
Obstetric Nature, venerable root,
From which the various forms of
being shoot;
No parts peculiar can thy power
enclose,
Diffused thro' all, from which the
world arose.
O, best of beings, of a subtle mind,
Propitious hear to holy prayers
inclined;
The sacred rites benevolent attend,
And grant a blameless life, a blessed
end.
Translated by Thomas Taylor.
