LXXXIII. TO VESTA [HESTIA]
The Fumigation from Aromatics.
Daughter of Saturn [Kronos], venerable dame, the seat containing of unweary'd flame;
In sacred rites these ministers are thine, Mystics much-blessed, holy and divine
In thee, the Gods have fix'd place, strong, stable, basis of the mortal race:
Eternal, much-form'd ever-florid queen, laughing and blessed, and of lovely mien;
Accept these rites, accord each just desire, and gentle health, and needful good inspire.
