From whom both men and Gods immortal came ;<br />

Who widely wand'ring once, oppress'd with grief,<br />

In Eleusina's valleys found'st relief,<br />

Discovering Proserpine thy daughter pure<br />

In dread Avernus, dismal and obscure ;<br />

A sacred youth while thro' the earth you stray,<br />

Come, much invok'd, and to these rites inclin'd,<br />

Thy mystic suppliun t bless, with fav' ring mind.
