mortem-et-necromantia:HypnosSleep [Hypnos], king of Gods, and men of mortal birth, sov'reign of all sustain’d by mother Earth;For thy dominion is supreme alone, o'er all extended, and by all things known.‘Tis thine all bodies with benignant mind in other bands than those of brass to bind:Tamer of cares, to weary toil repose, from whom sweet solace in affliction flows.Thy pleasing, gentle chains preserve the soul, and e'en the dreadful cares of death controul;For Death [Thanatos] and Lethe with oblivious stream, mankind thy genuine brothers justly deem.With fav'ring aspect to my pray'r incline, and save thy mystics in their works divine. -- source link
