Child of Ocean,
amazing beauty,
we honor you.
You rule deep earth,
encircling heaven,
the stormy seas
and everything in them.
Mother of sweet marriage
you join the world together
with laughter and harmony,
even the Moirai obey you.
Every eye seeks you.
Give us beauty and love.
Delighted by secrets
and lavish feasts
you are concord
and persuasion.
You are beautiful necessity
even in the frenzy of the shark.
Delicate as sea foam of Kypros,
fragrant as Syrion oils,
bright as golden chariots
on Aigyption plains
by the sandy bank
of the turquoise Nile,
a choir of the loveliest Nymphai
sings a hymn to your beauty.
With reverence we ask
for the gift of grace.
