Verse 1

O Royal Juno [Hera] of majestic mien, aerial-form'd, divine, Jove's [Zeus'] blessed queen, Thron'd in the bosom of cærulean air, the race of mortals is thy constant care.

Verse 2

The cooling gales thy pow'r alone inspires, which nourish life, which ev'ry life desires. Mother of clouds and winds, from thee alone producing all things, mortal life is known:

Verse 3

All natures share thy temp'rament divine, and universal sway alone is thine. With founding blasts of wind, the swelling sea and rolling rivers roar, when shook by thee.

Verse 4

Come, blessed Goddess, fam'd almighty queen, with aspect kind, rejoicing and serene.
