 Rh

Yea, if men live by laws derived from Gods.

Why not then greet a Goddess worshipful?

Whom?—have a care thy lips in no wise err.

Even Kypris, there above thy portals set.

From far I greet her, who am undefiled.

Worshipful is she, glorious among men.

Of Gods, of men, each maketh still his choice.

Now prosper thou;—be needful wisdom thine!

No God who hath night-homage pleaseth me.

Guerdons of Gods, my son, ought men to use.
