Lyrics

Hermes draw near, and to my prayer incline
Angel of Jove, and Maia's son divine
Studious of contests, ruler of mankind
With heart almighty, and a prudent mind
Studious of contests, ruler of mankind
With heart almighty, and a prudent mind
Celestial messenger, of various skill
Whose pow'rful arts could watchful Argus kill
With winged feet, its yours through air to course
O friend of man, and prophet of discourse
With winged feet, its yours through air to course
O friend of man, and prophet of discourse
With power endued all language to explain
Of care the loosener, and the source of gain
Whose hand contains of blameless peace the rod
Corucian, blessed, profitable God
Whose hand contains of blameless peace the rod
Corucian, blessed, profitable God
Dire weapon of the tongue, which men revere
Be present, Hermes, and your suppliant hear
Assist my works, conclude my life with peace
Give graceful speech, and my memory's increase
Assist my works, conclude my life with peace
Give graceful speech, and my memory's increase
