On Jove, the mighty, I of all the gods

Sharing alone the strong keys that unlock

His thunder-halls:[n53] but this I name not here.

Yield thou: cast not the seed of reckless speech

To crop the land with woe. Soothing the waves

Of bitter anger darkling in thy breast,

Dwell in this land, thy dreadful deity

Sistered with me. When thronging worshippers

Henceforth shall cull choice firstlings for thine altars,

Praying thy grace to bless the wedded rite,
