Great Jove to whose Almighty Throne | B |
Both Gods and mortals homage pay | C |
Ne'er may my soul thy power disown | B |
Thy dread behests ne'er disobey | C |
Oft shall the sacred victim fall | D |
In sea girt Ocean's mossy hall | D |
My voice shall raise no impious strain | E |
'Gainst him who rules the sky and azure main | E |

How different now thy joyless fate | F |
Since first Hesione thy bride | G |
When plac'd aloft in godlike state | F |
The blushing beauty by thy side | G |
Thou sat'st while reverend Ocean smil'd | H |
And mirthful strains the hours beguil'd | H |
The Nymphs and Tritons danc'd around | I |
Nor yet thy doom was fix'd nor Jove relentless frown'd | I |
