English version by H. R. James Original Language Latin Why are Nature's changes bound To a fixed and ordered round? What to leagud peace hath bent Every warring element? Wherefore doth the rosy morn Rise on Phbus' car upborne? Why should Phbe rule the night, Led by Hesper's guiding light? What the power that doth restrain In his place the restless main, That within fixed bounds he keeps, Nor o'er earth in deluge sweeps? Love it is that holds the chains, Love o'er sea and earth that reigns; Lovewhom else but sovereign Love? Love, high lord in heaven above! Yet should he his care remit, All that now so close is knit In sweet love and holy peace, Would no more from conflict cease, But with strife's rude shock and jar All the world's fair fabric mar. Tribes and nations Love unites By just treaty's sacred rites; Wedlock's bonds he sanctifies By affection's softest ties. Love appointeth, as is due, Faithful laws to comrades true Love, all-sovereign Love!oh, then, Ye are blest, ye sons of men, If the love that rules the sky In your hearts is throned on high! <
