Chorus
Singing.
Hail! hail! thou beloved divinity! thy return overwhelms us with joy. [585] When far from thee, my ardent wish to see my fields again made me pine with regret. From thee came all blessings. Oh! much desired Peace! [590] thou art the sole support of those who spend their lives tilling the earth. Under thy rule we had a thousand delicious enjoyments at our beck; [595] thou wert the husbandman's wheaten cake and his safeguard. So that our vineyards, our young fig-tree woods [600] and all our plantations hail thee with delight and smile at thy coming.
