Orpheus - The Hymns of Orpheus - LII: To Amphietus Bacchus lyrics

TERRESTRIAL Dionysius, hear my pray'r Awak'ned rise with nymphs of lovely hair: Great Amphietus Bacchus, annual God Who laid asleep in Proserpine's abode Did'st lull to drowsy and oblivious rest The rites triennial, and the sacred feast; Which rous'd again by thee, in graceful ring Thy nurses round thee mystic anthems sing; When briskly dancing with rejoicing pow'rs Thou mov'st in concert with the circling hours Come, blessed, fruitful, horned, and divine And on these rites with joyful aspect shine; Accept the general incense and the pray'r And make prolific holy fruits thy care
