The Shrine of the Three Graces

Hear me, Mighty, Illustrious Graces, Daughters of Eunomia,
Thalia fair, Bright Aglaia, and Joyful Euphrosyne,
All-Lovely Mothers of Mirth,
Pure and Abundant pleasure is Yours,
Forever flourishing and beautiful,
Desired by mortals and delightful to mankind,
Come and bless Your mystics with Your bounty.
�from The Orphic Hymns
