TO PALLAS [ATHENE] +A Hymn. +Only-Begotten, noble race of Jove, blessed and fierce, who joy'st in caves to rove: +O, warlike Pallas, whose illustrious kind, ineffable and effable we find: +Magnanimous and fam'd, the rocky height, and groves, and shady mountains thee delight: +In arms rejoicing, who with Furies dire and wild, the souls of mortals dost inspire. +Gymnastic virgin of terrific mind, dire Gorgons bane, unmarried, blessed, kind: +Mother of arts, imperious; understood, rage to the wicked., wisdom to the good: +Female and male, the arts of war are thine, fanatic, much-form'd dragoness [Drakaina], divine: +O'er the Phlegrean giants rous'd to ire, thy coursers driving, with destruction dire. +Sprung from the head of Jove [Tritogeneia], of splendid mien, purger of evils, all-victorious queen. +Hear me, O Goddess, when to thee I pray, with supplicating voice both night and day, +And in my latest hour, peace and health, propitious times, and necessary wealth, +And, ever present, be thy vot'ries aid, O, much implor'd, art's parent, blue eyed maid.
