Heaven and Earth
2The Everlasting Pair, with full streams, rich in milk, in their pure rule pour fatness for the pious man. Ye who are Regents of this world, O Earth and Heaven, pour into us the genial flow that prospers meit.
3Whoso, for righteous life, pours offerings to you, O Heaven and Earth, ye Hemispheres, that man succe eds. He in his seed is born again and spreads by Law: from you flow things diverse in form, but ruled alike.
4Enclosed in fatness, Heaven and Earth are bright therewith: they mingle with the fatness which they still increase. Wide, broad, set foremost at election of the priest, to them the singers pray for bliss to further them.
5May Heaven and Earth pour down the balmy rain for us, balm−dropping, yielding balm, with balm upo n your path, Bestowing by your Godhead sacrifice and wealth, great fame and strength for us and good heroic might.
6May Heaven and Earth make food swell plenteously for us, all−knowing Father, jother, wondrous in the ir works. Pouring out bounties, may, in union, both the Worlds, all beneficial, send us gain, and power, and wealth.
