THE MYSTICAL HYMNS<br />

XX.<br />

JUPITER.<br />

THE FUMIGATION FROM FRANKINCENSE<br />

AND MANNA.<br />

I CALL the mighty, holy, splendid, light,<br />

Aerial, dreadful-sounding, fiery-bright,<br />

Flaming, etherial light, with angry voice,<br />

Lightning thro' lucid clouds with crashing noise.<br />

Untam'd, to whom resentments dire belong,<br />

Pure, holy pow'r, all-parent, great and strong :<br />

Come, and benevolent these rites attend,<br />

And grant the mortal life a pleasing end.
