HYMN LXXVIII

A nuptial benediction

1Let this man be again bedewed with this presented sacrifice.
  And comfort with the sap of life the bride whom they have
   brought to him.
2With life's sap let him comfort her, and raise her high with
   princely sway.
  In wealth that hath a thousand powers, this pair be inexhausti-
   ble!
3Tvashtar formed her to be thy dame, Tvashtar made thee to be
   her lord.
  Long life let Tvashtar give you both. Let Tvashtar give a
   thousand lives.
