Hestia, thou that in the lofty halls of all immortal Gods, and of all men
that go on earth, hast obtained an eternal place and the foremost honour,
splendid is thy glory and thy gift, for there is no banquet of mortals
without thee, none where, Hestia, they be not wont first and last to make
to thee oblation of sweet wine. And do thou, O slayer of Argus, son of
Zeus and Maia, messenger of the blessed Gods, God of the golden wand,
Giver of all things good, do thou with Hestia dwell in the fair mansions,
dear each to other; with kindly heart befriend us in company with dear
and honoured Hestia. [For both the twain, well skilled in all fair works
of earthly men, consort with wisdom and youth.] Hail daughter of Cronos,
thou and Hermes of the golden wand, anon will I be mindful of you and of
another lay.
