To Tykhe (Fortune), Fumigation from Frankincense.
Approach, queen Tykhe, with propitious mind
and rich abundance, to my prayer inclined:
placid and gentle, mighty named,
imperial Artemis, born of Zeus famed,
mankind’s unconquered endless praise is thine,
sepulchral, widely wandering power divine!
In thee our various mortal life is found,
and come from thee in copious wealth abound;
while others mourn thy hand averse to bless,
in all the bitterness of deep distress.
Be present, Goddess, to thy votaries kind,
and give abundance with benignant mind.

— Orphic Hymn 72 to Tyche
