Eldest born of powers divine! br Bless'd Hygeia! be it mine br To enjoy what thou canst give, br And henceforth with thee to live: br For in power if pleasure be br Wealth or numerous progeny br Or in amorous embrace, br Where no spy infests the place; br Or in aught that Heaven bestows br To alleviate human woes, br When the wearied heart despairs br Of a respite from its cares; br These cold and every true delight br Flourish only in thy sight; br And the sister graces three br Owe, themselves, their youth to thee br Without whom we may possess br Much, but never happiness.
