Verses
Verse 1
O Jove much-honor'd, Jove [Zeus] supremely great, to thee our holy rites we consecrate, Our pray'rs and expiations, king divine, for all things round thy head exalted shine.
Verse 2
The earth is thine, and mountains swelling high, the sea profound, and all within the sky. Saturnian [Kronion] king, descending from above, magnanimous, commanding, sceptred Jove [Zeus];
Verse 3
All-parent, principle and end of all, whose pow'r almighty, shakes this earthly ball; Ev'n Nature trembles at thy mighty nod, loud-sounding, arm'd with light'ning, thund'ring God.
Verse 4
Source of abundance, purifying king, O various-form'd from whom all natures spring; Propitious hear my pray'r, give blameless health, with peace divine, and necessary wealth.
