| 1 | Primary O Thou, who doff the roots of Ocean [pontos] keep in seats caerulean, daemon of the deep, |
| 2 | Primary With fifty nymphs (attending in thy train, fair virgin artists) glorying thro' the main: |
| 3 | Primary The dark foundation of the rolling sea and Earth's wide bounds, belong much-fam'd to thee; |
| 4 | Primary Great daemon, source of all, whose pow'r can make the Earth's [Deo's] unmeasur'd, holy basis shake, |
| 5 | Primary When blust'ring winds in secret caverns pent, by thee excited, struggle hard for vent: |
| 6 | Primary Come, blessed Nereus, listen to my pray'r, and cease to shake the earth with wrath severe; |
| 7 | Primary Send on our sacred rites abundant health, with peace divine and necessary wealth. |
