Of universal heaven; the manners pure

Of deathless gods, and lovely is their voice.

Anon they bend their footsteps tow’rds the mount,

Rejoicing in their beauteous voice and song

Unperishing: far round the dusky earth

Rings with their hymning voices, and beneath

Their many-rustling feet a pleasant sound

Ariseth, as tumultuous pass they on

To greet their heavenly sire. He reigns in heaven,

The bolt and glowing lightning in his grasp,
