Cynthia, as to thy power and thee
We obey;
Where we sang our room shall be --
Silence, stay
Night-long with these lovers, they
Each in each will find the needed;
All they do and all they say
Only by themselves be heeded.

Goddess, pace the waves below,
Let thy feet
Glide like galleys when they row
With even beat,
May thy curved lamp in retreat
Silvering shades above them blended
Prove how, by immortal sweet
Virgin, spouses are befriended.
