Friends, hymn your Lord who makes him pure for rapturous carouse: let them
Sweeten him, as a child, with lauds and sacred gifts

Like as a calf with mother cows, so Indu is urged forth and sent,
Glorified by our hymns;, the god-delighting juice.

Effectual help to power is he. he is a banquet for the troop,
He who hath been effused, more rich in meath, for Gods.
