XLVIII: To Ippa

XLVIII.

TO IPPA *

The FUMIGATION from STORAX.

Great nurse of Bacchus, to my pray'r incline,
For holy Sabus' secret rites are thine,
The mystic rites of Bacchus' nightly choirs,
Compos'd of sacred, loud-resounding fires:
Hear me, terrestrial mother, mighty queen, 5
Whether on Phyrgia's holy mountain + seen,
Or if to dwell in Tmolus thee delights,
With holy aspect come, and bless these rites.
