And Titan, by whose rays the shining day is born,5

Thou triformed maiden Hecate, whose conscious beams

With splendor shine upon the mystic worshipers—

Upon ye all I call, the powers of heaven, the gods

By whose divinity false Jason swore; and ye

Whose aid Medea may more boldly claim, thou world

Of endless night, th' antipodes of heavenly realms,

Ye damnéd ghosts, thou lord of hades' dark domain,10

Whose mistress was with trustier pledge won to thy side—

Before ye all this baleful prayer I bring: Be near!
