II. The 15th HYMN.
To Juno.
Plac'd in the azure bosom of the sky,
Airy-form Juno, of Jove's heav'nly bed
Happy partaker, thou with gentle gales
Life-giving, quicken'st all terrestrial things.
Of clouds, of rain and winds the nourisher;
All things producing, for the breath of life
Without thee nothing knows: since thou, with all
Thyself in wond'rous sort communicating,
Art mix'd with all. Thou, sov'reign, too obtain'st
An universal empire, borne along
In airy torrents with resounding murmurs.
Goddess, whose names are num'rous, all-ador'd,
Propitious come with lovely smiling face.
