Hymn XXXV: To Latona

Dark-veil'd Latona, much invoked queen,
Twin-bearing Goddess, of a noble mien ;
Ceantis great, a mighty mind is thine,
Offspring prolific, blest, of Jove divine :
Phoebus proceeds from thee, the God of light,
And Dian fair, whom winged darts delight ;
She in Ortygia's honour'd regions born,
In Delos he, which lofty mounts adorn.
Hear me, O queen, and fav'rably attend,
And to this Telete divine afford a pleasing end.
