O swiftly, re-light the flame
before the substance cool,
for suddenly we saw your name
desecrated; knaves and fools
have done you impious wrong,
Venus, for venery stands for impurity
and Venus as desire
is venereous, lascivious,
while the very root of the word shrieks
like a mandrake when foul witches pull
its stem at midnight,
and rare mandragora itself
is full, they say, of poison,
food for the witches' den.
Swiftly re-light the flame,
Aphrodite, holy name,
Astarte, hull and spar
of wrecked ships lost your star,
forgot the light at dusk,
forgot the prayer at dawn;
return, O holiest one,
Venus whose name is kin
to venerate,
venerator.
