To Diana. III-22 (From The Odes Of Horace)

Topics: classic

Diana, Protector of mountain and wood,         Who when three times invoked, hast so well understood,         And young mothers in child-birth hast rescued from death,         Goddess, triply endowed!         Let this tree overhanging my house here, this pine         Be for thee, that each year I shall consecrate thine,         Happy still - with the blood of a boar, whose last breath,         Planned a side-long attack.
