O LOVE, thou art victor in fight: thou mak'st all things afraid; 
Thou couchest thee softly at night on the cheeks of a maid; 
Thou passest the bounds of the sea, and the folds of the fields; 
To thee the immortal, to thee the ephemeral yields; 
Thou maddenest them that possess thee; thou turnest astray 
The souls of the just, to oppress them, out of the way; 
Thou hast kindled amongst us pride, and the quarrel of kin; 
Thou art lord, by the eyes of a bride, and the love-light therein; 
Thou sittest assessor with Right; her kingdom is thine, 
Who sports with invincible might, Aphrodite divine.
