Orphic Hymn LXXI. TO FORTUNA [TYKHE]
Fors Fortuna Approach strong Fortuna [Tykhe], with propitious mind and rich abundance, to my pray’r inclin’d Placid, and gentle Trivia, mighty nam’d, imperial Dian [Artemis], born of Pluto [Eubouleos] fam’d; Mankind’s unconquer’d, endless praise is thine, sepulch’ral, widely-wand’ring pow’r divine!

Be present, Goddess, to thy vot’ry kind, and give abundance with benignant mind.
