            Untainted Graces
            With wrists like roses,
            Please come close,
            You daughters of Zeus.

Now, Dika, weave the aniseed together, flower and
                                                                        stem,
With your soft hands, crown yourself with a lovely
                                                                        diadem
Because the blessed Graces grant gifts to the garlanded
And snub the worshipper with no flowers on her head.
