🏛️ Hymn 22 - NEREUS

O Thou, who doff the roots of Ocean [pontos] keep in seats cærulean, dæmon of the deep, With fifty nymphs (attending in thy train, fair virgin artists) glorying thro' the main:

The dark foundation of the rolling sea and Earth's wide bounds, belong much-fam'd to thee; Great dæmon, source of all, whose pow'r can make the Earth's [Deo's] unmeasur'd, holy basis shake, When blust'ring winds in secret caverns pent, by thee excited, struggle hard for vent:

Come, blessed Nereus, listen to my pray'r, and cease to shake the earth with wrath severe; Send on our sacred rites abundant health, with peace divine and necessary wealth.
