🏛️ Hymn 4 - FIRE [AITHER]

O Ever untam'd Fire [Aither], who reign'st on high in Jove's [Zeus'] dominions ruler of the sky; The glorious sun with dazzling lustre bright, and moon and stars from thee derive their light;

All taming pow'r, ætherial shining fire, whose vivid blasts the heat of life inspire: The world's best element, light-bearing pow'r, with starry radiance shining, splendid flow'r, O hear my suppliant pray'r, and may thy frame be ever innocent, serene, and tame.
