Invocatio.

INVOCATION

My soul is wrought to sing of forms transformed
to bodies new and strange! Immortal Gods
inspire my heart, for ye have changed yourselves
and all things you have changed! Oh lead my song
in smooth and measured strains, from olden days
when earth began to this completed time!

Ovid. Metamorphoses. Brookes More. Boston. Cornhill Publishing Co. 1922.
