2 Agni, disclose his thought for him who singeth, the well, Strong God! while thou art praised with fervou 3 From thee, O Agni, springs poetic wisdom, from thee come thoughts and hymns of praise that prosper; 4 From thee the hero springs who wins the booty, bringer of help, mighty, of real courage. 5 Immortal Agni, thee whose voice is pleasant, as first in rank, as God, religious mortals 6 Far from us thou removest want and sorrow, far from us all ill−will when thou protectest.

Saturnia lends the lash; the coursers fly; Smooth glides the chariot through the liquid sky. Heaven’s gates spontaneous open to the powers, Heaven’s golden gates, kept by the winged Hours. Commission’d in alternate watch they stand, The sun’s bright portals and the skies command; Close, or unfold, the eternal gates of day Bar heaven with clouds, or roll those clouds away. The sounding hinges ring, the clouds divide. Prone down the steep of heaven their course they guide. But Jove, incensed, from Ida’s top survey’d, And thus enjoin’d the many-colour’d maid.
