Fumigation from Storax.
O venerable Goddess,
hear my prayer,
for labour pains are thy peculiar care.
In thee,
when stretched upon the bed of grief,
the sex,
as in a mirror,
view relief.
Guard of the race,
endued with gentle mind,
to helpless youth benevolent and kind;
benignant nourisher;
great nature's key belongs to no divinity but thee.
Thou dwellest with all immanifest to sight,
and solemn festivals are thy delight.
Thine is the task
to loose the virgin's zone
and thou in every work art seen and known.
With births you sympathise,
though pleased to see
the numerous offspring of fertility.
When racked with labour pangs,
and sore distressed
the sex invoke thee,
as the soul's sure rest;
for thou Eileithyia alone
canst give relief to pain,
which art attempts to ease,
but tries in vain.
Artemis Eileithyia,
venerable power,
who bringest relief
in labour's dreadful hour;
hear,
Prothyraia
and make the infant race thy constant care."
~Orphic Hymn 2 to Prothhyraea [Artemis]
