Prayers and Hymns

“Nemesis, winged tilter of scales and lives,

Justice-spawned Goddess with steel-blue eyes!

Thou bridlest vain men who roil in vain

Against Thy harsh adamantine rein.

hater of hubris and megalomania,

Obliterator of black resentment,

By Thy trackless, churning, wracking wheel

Man’s glinting fortunes turn on earth.

Thou comest in oblivion’s cloak to bend

The grandeur-deluded rebel neck,

With forearm measuring out lifetimes

With brow frowning into the heart of man

And the yoke raised sovereign in Thy hand.

Hail in the highest, O justice-queen

Nemesis, winged tilter of scales and lives,

Immortal Resenter! I sing Thy song,

Almighty Payback on proud-spread wings,

Lieutenant of fairness, Requiter of wrongs.

Despise the lordly with all Thine art

And lay them low in the Nether-dark.”
