O Powerful Victory [Nike], by men desir'd, with adverse breasts to dreadful fury fir'd,
Thee I invoke, whose might alone can quell rage, and molestation fell:
'Tis thine in battle to confer the crown, the victor's prize, the mark of sweet renown;
For thou rul'st all things, Victory [Nike] divine!
Thee I invoke, whose might alone can quell rage, and molestation fell:
'Tis thine in battle to confer the crown, the victor's prize, the mark of sweet renown;
For thou rul'st all things, Victory [Nike] divine!
