XIV. TO THE MOTHER OF THE GODS (6 lines) (ll. 1-5) I prithee, clear-voiced Muse, daughter of mighty Zeus, sing of the mother of all gods and men. She is well-pleased with the sound of rattles and of timbrels, with the voice of flutes and the outcry of wolves and bright-eyed lions, with echoing hills and wooded coombes. (l. 6) And so hail to you in my song and to all goddesses as well!
