LXXI. To Fortune

The FUMIGATION from FRANKINCENSE. Approach strong Fortune, with propitious mind And rich abundance, to my pray'r inclin'd p. 203 Placid, and gentle Trivia, mighty nam'd, 3 Imperial Dian, born of Pluto fam'd; Mankind's unconquer'd, endless praise is thine, 5 Sepulch'ral, widely-wand'ring pow'r divine! In thee, our various mortal life is found, And some from thee hi copious wealth abound; While others mourn thy hand averse to bless, In all the bitterness of deep distress. 10 Bc present, Goddess, to thy vot'ry kind, And give abundance with benignant mind. 203:3 Ver. 3.] Placid and gentle Trivia. See the note to the Introduction to Musæus.
