Orphic Hymn 12 to Saturn (Kronos) 

Ethereal father, mighty Titan, hear, great fire of Gods and men, whom all revere: Endured with various council, pure and strong, to whom perfection and decrease belong. Consumed by thee all forms that hourly die, by thee restored, their former place supply. The world immense in everlasting chains, strong and ineffable thy power contains. Father of vast eternity, divine, O mighty Saturn [Kronos], various speech is thine: Blossom of earth and of the starry skies, husband of Rhea, and Prometheus wife. Obstetric Nature, venerable root, from which the various forms of being shoot; No parts peculiar can thy power enclose, diffused through all, from which the world arose. O, best of beings, of a subtle mind, propitious hear to holy prayers inclined. The sacred rites benevolent attend, and grant a blameless life, a blessed end.

Orphic Hymn 13 to Rhea 

Daughter of great Protogonus, divine, illustrious Rhea, to my prayer incline, Who drives thy holy car with speed along, drawn by fierce lions, terrible and strong. Mother of Jove, whose mighty arm can wield the avenging bolt, and shake the dreadful shield. Drum-beating, frantic, of a splendid mien, brass-sounding, honored, Saturn's blessed queen. Thou joys in mountains and tumultuous fight, and mankind's horrid howlings, thee delight. War’s parent, mighty, of majestic frame, deceitful saviour, liberating dame. Mother of Gods and men, from whom the earth [Gaia] and lofty heavens [Ouranos] derive their glorious birth. The ætherial gales, the deeply spreading sea goddess ærial formed, proceed from thee. Come, pleased with wanderings, blessed and divine, with peace attended on our labors shine. Bring rich abundance, and wherever found drive dire disease, to earth's remotest bound.
