In the custody of Diana we are
the pure boys and girls:
The boys and girls
sing to Diana
O Latonia, the great
offspring of the greatest Jupiter.
whom the mother gave birth
near a Delian olive tree
so you could be the mistress of the mountains
and of the flourishing woods
and of the secluded wooded pasture
and of the resounding river:
you Lucina Iuno are said to be
by a women in labor
to be the powerful Trivia
and Luna with bastard light
in your monthly course goddess
measuring your annual journey
you fill the rustic homes of the farmer
with good produce
may you be holy by whatever name pleases
you and may you preserve the family of
Romulus as you are accustomed
of good help long ago.
