THE RITE OF JUPITER
Weave with thy wind
Into curls deep-vined
l
Passionate bliss
!
Rapture on rapture
I
Our hymns recapture
The Bromian kiss.
Blessed our souls l
Blessed this even
1
We reach to the goals
Of the starriest heaven.
Daphnis, and Atthis, and Chrysis, and Chloe,
Mingle, O maidens

C.I.C4T.
I bring ye wine from above,
From the vats of the storied sun ;
For every one of ye love,
And life for every one.
Ye shall dance on hill and level ;
Ye shall sing in hollow and height,
In the festal mystical revel,
The rapturous Bacchanal rite
!
The rocks and trees are yours,
And the waters under the hill,
By the might of that which endures,
The holy heaven of will !
Ι kindle a flame like a torrent
To rush from star to star;
Your hair as a comet's horrent,
Ye shall see things as they are!
