Orphic Hymn to Zeus (Jupiter)

XIV To Jupiter [Zeus]

O Jove much honour'd, Jove [Zeus] supremely great, to thee our holy rites we consecrate,

Our pray'rs and expiations , king divine ,

for all things round they head exalted shine .

The earth is thine, and mountains swelling high ,

the sea profound and all within the sky.

Saturnalian [kronian ] king, descending from above , 

magnanimous, commanding sceptred Jove [Zeus].

All parent , principls 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 lightening, thund'ring God.

A soursce of abundance , purifying King, 

O various - form'd form whom all natures spring;

Propitious hear my pray'r, give blameless health with peace divine and necessary wealth
