THE MYSTICAL HYMNS<br />

XLIX.<br />

TO IPPA.<br />

THE FUMIGATION FROM STORAX.<br />

GREAT<br />

nurse <strong>of</strong> Bacchus, to my pray'r incline,<br />

For holy Sabus' secret rites are thine,<br />

<strong>The</strong> mystic rites <strong>of</strong> Bacchus' nightly choirs,<br />

Compos'd <strong>of</strong> sacred, loud-resounding fires.<br />

Hear me, terrestrial mother, mighty queen,<br />

Whether on Ida's holy mountain seen,<br />

Or if to dwell in Tmolus thee delights,<br />

With holy aspect come, and bless these rites.
