Hermes, god of travel,
of tricksters and thievery,
messenger and charming joy-bringer.
I think of ye in most high praise.

Hail the cunning and gracious leader of
those who lie and steal, those who write
away their pain, and those He guides to home.
Hail He who watches over trade and communication between mortals.

Equally joyous in laughter and serious; bringer of souls to the end,
Hermes, O holy one, handsome and willing, I devote this to you.
