Mothers gloomy wrath: Go, holy Graces, go and with a loud cry take from Demeters angry heart her grief for the maiden;
and you, Muses, with song and dance. Then Kypris, fairest of the blessed gods, first took up the rumbling voice of bronze and the drum with tight-stretched skin; and the goddess smiled,
and received in her hand the deep-toned flute, pleased with its loud note.
1353
Chorus
You made burnt offerings that were neither right nor holy, in the chambers of the gods,
and you have incurred the wrath of the great mother, child, by not honoring her sacrifices. Oh! Great is the power of dappled fawn-skin robes,
