Ada Lovelace

Hail Lady Ada, full of grace
The Lady Hekate and the Lord Hephaestos are with thee
Lady of fire, lover of passion and inspiration
Who knowest the secret language by which humanity may speak to matter
Mother of modern technology

Inspire me with thy faith
That I may invest my passion in distant dreams without regret
That I may dare to be more than what society deems appropriate

Clear the way for women
And all those whose way is barred by their gender
Let the brilliance of thine intelligence shine upon us
And show thy splendor to all who dabble in thy craft

I raise a toast in thy honor
Lady Ada, Sponde!
