Who causest the safe earth to shudder and gape,

And gulf and flatten in her closing chasm

Domed cities, hear.

Whose lava-torrents blast and blacken a province

To a cinder, hear.

Whose winter-cataracts find a realm and leave it

A waste of rock and ruin, hear. I call thee

To make my marriage prosper to my wish!

Chorus.

Artemis, Artemis, hear her, Ephesian Artemis!
