- Delighting in rain
Meaning
Earth is ὀμβροχαρές at XXVI.8, fitting the hymn’s fruit-bearing and nourishing portrait. The apparatus attributes the printed rain-delighting word to Abel against ὀμβριμοχαρής; that reported form should not be silently treated as an identical spelling of the adopted compound.
