Orphic Hymn 60

To The Graces

THE FUMIGATION FROM STORAX. Hear me, illustrious Graces, mighty nam’d, From Jove descended, and Eunomia fam’d, Thalia and Aglaia fair and bright, And blest Euphrosyne, whom joys delight: Mothers of mirth; all lovely to the view, Pleasure abundant, pure, belongs to you: Various, for ever flourishing and fair, Desir’d by mortals, much invok’d in pray’r; Circling, dark-ey’d, delightful to mankind, Come, and your mystics’ bless with bounteous mind.
