To The Waters, For Strength And Power
power p. a6
That we may look on great delight.
2. Here grant to us a share of dew, that most auspicious dew of
yours,
Like mothers in their longing love.

And, Waters, give us procreant strength.
4. I pray the Floods to send us balm, those who bear rule o'er
precious things,
And have supreme control of men.
