Horae by Micheal Garrison

Let us to Jupiter our praises sing.

As Rhea from high her voice doth ring;

Whilst Aurora rises as trumpets sound.

Ere Andromeda sings her air to ground-

The fates weave the strands of destiny-

Necessity gives verse her Threnody-

O cometh Hesperus. Ev’ning star so bright;-

Scatter’d sheaves of light o’er the sky of night

‘Mongst suns of Nyx of dark rob’d Erebus.

Emeralds and orb’d sapphires of cirl’d spheres;

For dryads doth follow Acantha’s train

And naiads dance before the dewy rain;

Like shining globes of silent scintillation-
