c8.55

*These living ones are from the dead divided:*
*Our calling on the gods is now auspicious.*
*We have come forth prepared for dance and laughter,*
*Till future days prolonging our existence.*

*As days in order follow one another,*
*As seasons duly alternate with seasons,*
*As the later never forsakes the earlier,*
*So fashion thou the lives of these, Ordainer.*
