O great Mene, whose face is shown on the half-month Reveal thy crown again and your heavenly form You, O Selene, who conquered divine Endymion Sister to all-seeing Helios and torch-bearer of Nyx Come forth and join the song, for Apollon calls you The time of dark is no more, for Hekate takes the shades And guiding them away, invites you once more A new time has come, bright Apollon says The arrival of new days, and new nights Mother of Months, all-shining one, come hither Phoebus sings and the Muses follow As you return to the heavens, bull-horned Goddess His bright light invites you again, O lovely Mene As the old month withers and wanes A new one emerges, likewise beautiful and wise.
