Invocation to Aphrodite
Hail, Aphrodite! All I have to give
Upon thine altar laid, is thine to take
My spirit and my body here I bring
To thee in love, for my beloved's sake.
For me, her face is thine, her limbs, her hands.
The locks that crown her, and the eyes that shine
Give us they blessings, Cyprian, and know
That I am hers in love, and she is mine.
