 3.-TUESDAY -ARIONI

  

The Orphic Hymn to Ares

The FUMIGATION from FRANKINCENSE.

--------------------------

Magnanimous, unconquer'd, boistrous Mars,
In darts rejoicing, and in bloody wars

Fierce and untam'd, whose mighty pow'r can make
The strongest walls from their foundations shake:
Mortal destroying king, defil'd with gore,
Pleas'd with war's dreadful and tumultuous roar:
Thee, human blood, and swords, and spears delight,
And the dire ruin of mad savage fight.
Stay, furious contests, and avenging strife,
Whose works with woe, embitter human life;
To lovely Venus, and to Bacchus yield,
To Ceres give the weapons of the field;
Encourage peace, to gentle works inclin'd,
And give abundance, with benignant mind.

 

Translation in English by Thomas Taylor
