html.skin-theme-clientpref-night @media(prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os }ermes, I honor, (the Cyllenian Spie)
King of Cyllenia, and of Arcadie
With flocks abounding: and the Messenger
Of all th'Immortalls; that doth still inferre
Profites of infinite valew to their store:
Whom to Saturnius, bashfull Maia bore;
Daughter of Atlas; and did therefore flie
Of all th'Immortalls, the Societie,
To that darcke Caue; where, in the dead of Night,
Ioue ioind with her, in Loues diuine Delight;
When Golden sleepe, shut Iuno's iealous eye,
Whose arms had wrists, as white as Iuorie;
From whom, and all, both Men, and Gods beside,
The faire-hayrd Nymph, her scape kept vnderscride.
Ioy to the Ioue-got then, and Maia's Care;
Twixt Men and Gods, the generall Messenger:
Giuer of good Grace; Gladnesse, and the Flood
Of all that Men, or Gods, account their Good.
