The Orphic Collection, Volume I: The Hymns

I call the holy lord of immortals and of mortals,

heavenly Nomos, setter of the stars, the just seal

of the salt sea and of earth — what is steadfast in nature,

unswerving, free of faction, keeping it always by laws,

5by which, bearing the great heaven from above, he journeys himself,

and with a whistling rush drives worthless envy outside;

who rouses for mortals too a good end to life;
