Hear, royal goddess, light-bearing, divine
Selene, bull-horned Mene, night-runner,
roamer through the nightly air, torch bearing
fair-starred maiden, Mene, you wax and wane
both male and female, a shining lover
of horses, mother of time, fruit-bearing,
amber, somber, shining down in the night,
all-seeing, wakeful, full of lovely stars,
rejoicing in silence and the blessed
peace of the night, bright giver of good grace
and bringer of completion, a holy
image of the night, you lead out the stars,
your long cloak streaming, running in spirals.
All-wise maiden, come, blessed kind goddess
of beautiful stars, and shine with threefold
light, maid, redeeming your new supplicants.
