To Urania

I call to Urania of the stars, daughter of Zeus and wise Mnemosyne, great muse who looks ever to the sky, bearer of the stellar globe, well-cloaked in spangled darkness, yours is the art of the heavenly sphere, the reading of the starry night, the distant lights of the many worlds. Friend of the star-gazer and the poet, the prophet and the sage, I praise your might. O Urania, great of wisdom, I pray to you, goddess, I honor your gifts.

Bia, unyielding one, grant me your gift of fortitude.
