Hymn to the Muses,Proclus

..
FROM THE CONFUSING TUMULT OF BECOMING,
DO THOU LEAD ME STEADILY UPWARD AND ONWARD,
A WANDERING SOUL,
TO THE HOLY LIGHT.

Neoplatonist Proclus (410-485 A.C.),Hymn to Helios

..
"Arise,
shine,
thou greatest of the gods,
thou blessed one,
crowned with flame,
Image of God,
the begetter of all,
thou guiding star of Souls !
.
Hear me,
and cleanse me from all the defilements of sin !
.
Accept my bitter tears and pleading !
.
The horrid stain,
remove from me,
and keep far from me the penalty I deserve,
and make mild the stern eye of all-seeing Dike ! "
