Adamanthea/Adamanteia/Άδάμανθεά/Amaltheia/Amalthea/Αμαλθεια

Nymph, god, and goat:
She nourish'd the king of heaven.
Nymph, god, and goat,
whose broken-off horn was of note
for it filled with fruits and herbs, ken?
And it filled again and again;
Nymph, god, and goat.

Nymph, god, and goat -
attend carefully the lesson;
Nymph, god, and goat,
a mystery the poet wrote:
his father could not find him when
She hung his cradle in the glen,
Nymph, god, and goat.

Nymph, god, and goat,
stormy weather guarded him then;
Nymph, god, and goat,
a shield made from Her skin and coat
(how spoken are the words of men)
sacred it is, divine, amen,
Nymph, god, and goat.
