Transcription:
Prometheus caught a heav’nly ray
To animate his Man of Clay
The sacred light of [wis]dom stole
And [p]our’d it o’er [th’]awakning [Soul];
For this condemn’d by angry Jove,
Because he [misc’d] no [Fire] from Love.
But when the Monarch saw the Light
That sparkled in your [virtues bright]
To you in bounteous Dole he [granted].
The compound Flame Prometheus wanted,
And he who owns this Flame from you
Loves ardently and wisely too__
