c8.33

*They move alternately with mystic power;*
*Like children playing they go round the sacrifice:*
*One of the two surveys all living beings,*
*The other, seasons meting out, is born again.*
*Ever anew, being born again, he rises,*
*He goes in front of dawns as daylight's token.*
*He, coming, to the gods their share apportions:*
*The moon extends the length of man's existence.*
