Vesta eadem est et terra: subest vigil ignis utrique: 6.268. significant sedem terra focusque suam. | 1.63. See how Janus appears first in my song 1.64. To announce a happy year for you, Germanicus. 1.103. The ancients called me Chaos (since I am of the first world): 1.105. The clear air, and the three other elements, 1.106. Fire, water, earth, were heaped together as one. 1.107. When, through the discord of its components, 1.108. The mass dissolved, and scattered to new regions, 1.109. Flame found the heights: air took a lower place, 1.110. While earth and sea sank to the furthest depth. 1.111. Then I, who was a shapeless mass, a ball, 1.112. Took on the appearance, and noble limbs of a god. 1.117. Whatever you see: sky, sea, clouds, earth, 1.118. All things are begun and ended by my hand. 1.119. Care of the vast world is in my hands alone, 1.120. And mine the goverce of the turning pole. 1.121. When I choose to send Peace, from tranquil houses, 1.122. Freely she walks the roads, and ceaselessly: 1.123. The whole world would drown in bloodstained slaughter, 1.124. If rigid barriers failed to hold war in check. 1.277. ‘But why hide in peace, and open your gates in war?’ 1.278. He swiftly gave me the answer that I sought: 1.279. ‘My unbarred gate stands open wide, so that when 1.280. The people go to war the return path’s open too.’ 1.281. I bar it in peacetime so peace cannot depart: 1.282. And by Caesar’s will I shall be long closed.’ 1.317. Add four successive days to the Nones and Janu 1.318. Must be propitiated on the Agonal day. 1.319. The day may take its name from the girded priest 1.320. At whose blow the god’s sacrifice is felled: 1.321. Always, before he stains the naked blade with hot blood, 1.322. He asks if he should (agatne), and won’t unless commanded. 1.323. Some believe that the day is called Agonal because 1.324. The sheep do not come to the altar but are driven (agantur). 1.325. Others think the ancients called this festival Agnalia, 1.326. ‘of the lambs’, dropping a letter from its usual place. 1.327. Or because the victim fears the knife mirrored in the water, 1.328. The day might be so called from the creature’s agony? 1.329. It may also be that the day has a Greek name 1.330. From the games (agones) that were held in former times. 1.331. And in ancient speech agonia meant a sheep, 1.332. And this last reason in my judgement is the truth. 1.333. Though the meaning is uncertain, the king of the rites, 1.334. Must appease the gods with the mate of a woolly ewe. 1.335. It’s called the victim because a victorious hand fells it: 1.336. And hostia, sacrifice, from hostile conquered foes. 1.337. Cornmeal, and glittering grains of pure salt, 1.338. Were once the means for men to placate the gods. 1.339. No foreign ship had yet brought liquid myrrh 1.340. Extracted from tree’s bark, over the ocean waves: 1.341. Euphrates had not sent incense, nor India balm, 1.342. And the threads of yellow saffron were unknown. 1.343. The altar was happy to fume with Sabine juniper, 1.344. And the laurel burned with a loud crackling. 1.345. He was rich, whoever could add violet 1.346. To garlands woven from meadow flowers. 1.347. The knife that bares the entrails of the stricken bull, 1.348. Had no role to perform in the sacred rites. 1.349. Ceres was first to delight in the blood of the greedy sow, 1.350. Her crops avenged by the rightful death of the guilty creature, 1.351. She learned that in spring the grain, milky with sweet juice, 1.352. Had been uprooted by the snouts of bristling pigs. 1.353. The swine were punished: terrified by that example, 1.354. You should have spared the vine-shoots, he-goat. 1.355. Watching a goat nibbling a vine someone once 1.356. Vented their indignation in these words: 1.357. ‘Gnaw the vine, goat! But when you stand at the altar 1.358. There’ll be something from it to sprinkle on your horns.’ 1.359. Truth followed: Bacchus, your enemy is given you 1.360. To punish, and sprinkled wine flows over its horns. 1.361. The sow suffered for her crime, and the goat for hers: 1.362. But what were you guilty of you sheep and oxen? 1.363. Aristaeus wept because he saw his bees destroyed, 1.364. And the hives they had begun left abandoned. 1.365. His azure mother, Cyrene, could barely calm his grief, 1.366. But added these final words to what she said: 1.367. ‘Son, cease your tears! Proteus will allay your loss, 1.368. And show you how to recover what has perished. 1.369. But lest he still deceives you by changing shape, 1.370. Entangle both his hands with strong fastenings.’ 1.371. The youth approached the seer, who was fast asleep, 1.372. And bound the arms of that Old Man of the Sea. 1.373. He by his art altered his shape and transformed his face, 1.374. But soon reverted to his true form, tamed by the ropes. 1.375. Then raising his dripping head, and sea-green beard, 1.376. He said: ‘Do you ask how to recover your bees? 1.377. Kill a heifer and bury its carcase in the earth, 1.378. Buried it will produce what you ask of me.’ 1.379. The shepherd obeyed: the beast’s putrid corpse 1.380. Swarmed: one life destroyed created thousands. 1.381. Death claims the sheep: wickedly, it grazed the vervain 1.382. That a pious old woman offered to the rural gods. 1.383. What creature’s safe if woolly sheep, and oxen 1.384. Broken to the plough, lay their lives on the altar? 1.385. Persia propitiates Hyperion, crowned with rays, 1.386. With horses, no sluggish victims for the swift god. 1.387. Because a hind was once sacrificed to Diana the twin, 1.388. Instead of Iphigeneia, a hind dies, though not for a virgin now. 1.389. I have seen a dog’s entrails offered to Trivia by Sapaeans, 1.390. Whose homes border on your snows, Mount Haemus. 1.391. A young ass too is sacrificed to the erect rural guardian, 1.392. Priapus, the reason’s shameful, but appropriate to the god. 1.393. Greece, you held a festival of ivy-berried Bacchus, 1.394. That used to recur at the appointed time, every third winter. 1.395. There too came the divinities who worshipped him as Lyaeus, 1.396. And whoever else was not averse to jesting, 1.397. The Pans and the young Satyrs prone to lust, 1.398. And the goddesses of rivers and lonely haunts. 1.399. And old Silenus came on a hollow-backed ass, 1.400. And crimson Priapus scaring the timid birds with his rod. 1.401. Finding a grove suited to sweet entertainment, 1.402. They lay down on beds of grass covered with cloths. 1.403. Liber offered wine, each had brought a garland, 1.404. A stream supplied ample water for the mixing. 1.405. There were Naiads too, some with uncombed flowing hair, 1.406. Others with their tresses artfully bound. 1.407. One attends with tunic tucked high above the knee, 1.408. Another shows her breast through her loosened robe: 1.409. One bares her shoulder: another trails her hem in the grass, 1.410. Their tender feet are not encumbered with shoes. 1.411. So some create amorous passion in the Satyrs, 1.412. Some in you, Pan, brows wreathed in pine. 1.413. You too Silenus, are on fire, insatiable lecher: 1.414. Wickedness alone prevents you growing old. 1.415. But crimson Priapus, guardian and glory of gardens, 1.416. of them all, was captivated by Lotis: 1.417. He desires, and prays, and sighs for her alone, 1.418. He signals to her, by nodding, woos her with signs. 1.419. But the lovely are disdainful, pride waits on beauty: 1.420. She laughed at him, and scorned him with a look. 1.421. It was night, and drowsy from the wine, 1.422. They lay here and there, overcome by sleep. 1.423. Tired from play, Lotis rested on the grassy earth, 1.424. Furthest away, under the maple branches. 1.425. Her lover stood, and holding his breath, stole 1.426. Furtively and silently towards her on tiptoe. 1.427. Reaching the snow-white nymph’s secluded bed, 1.428. He took care lest the sound of his breath escaped. 1.429. Now he balanced on his toes on the grass nearby: 1.430. But she was still completely full of sleep. 1.431. He rejoiced, and drawing the cover from her feet, 1.432. He happily began to have his way with her. 1.433. Suddenly Silenus’ ass braying raucously, 1.434. Gave an untimely bellow from its jaws. 1.435. Terrified the nymph rose, pushed Priapus away, 1.436. And, fleeing, gave the alarm to the whole grove. 1.437. But the over-expectant god with his rigid member, 1.438. Was laughed at by them all, in the moonlight. 1.439. The creator of that ruckus paid with his life, 1.440. And he’s the sacrifice dear to the Hellespontine god. 1.441. You were chaste once, you birds, a rural solace, 1.442. You harmless race that haunt the woodlands, 1.443. Who build your nests, warm your eggs with your wings, 1.444. And utter sweet measures from your ready beaks, 1.445. But that is no help to you, because of your guilty tongues, 1.446. And the gods’ belief that you reveal their thoughts. 1.447. Nor is that false: since the closer you are to the gods, 1.448. The truer the omens you give by voice and flight. 1.449. Though long untouched, birds were killed at last, 1.450. And the gods delighted in the informers’ entrails. 1.451. So the white dove, torn from her mate, 1.452. Is often burned in the Idalian flames: 1.453. Nor did saving the Capitol benefit the goose, 1.454. Who yielded his liver on a dish to you, Inachus’ daughter: 1.455. The cock is sacrificed at night to the Goddess, Night, 1.456. Because he summons the day with his waking cries, 1.457. While the bright constellation of the Dolphin rise 1.458. Over the sea, and shows his face from his native waters. 4.85. Where does envy not reach? Venus, there are some 4.86. Who’d grudge you your month, and snatch it away. 4.87. They say Spring was named from the open (apertum) season, 4.88. Because Spring opens (aperit) everything and the sharp 4.89. Frost-bound cold vanishes, and fertile soil’s revealed, 4.90. Though kind Venus sets her hand there and claims it. 4.91. She rules the whole world too, and truly deserves to: 4.92. She owns a realm not inferior to any god’s, 4.93. Commands earth and heaven, and her native ocean, 4.94. And maintains all beings from her source. 4.95. She created the gods (too numerous to mention): 4.96. She gave the crops and trees their first roots: 4.97. She brought the crude minds of men together, 4.98. And taught them each to associate with a partner. 4.99. What but sweet pleasure creates all the race of birds? 4.100. Cattle wouldn’t mate, if gentle love were absent. 4.101. The wild ram butts the males with his horn, 4.102. But won’t hurt the brow of his beloved ewe. 4.103. The bull, that the woods and pastures fear, 4.104. Puts off his fierceness and follows the heifer. 4.105. The same force preserves whatever lives in the deep, 4.106. And fills the waters with innumerable fish. 4.107. That force first stripped man of his wild apparel: 4.108. From it he learned refinement and elegance. 4.109. It’s said a banished lover first serenaded 4.110. His mistress by night, at her closed door, 4.111. And eloquence then was the winning of a reluctant maid, 4.112. And everyone pleaded his or her own cause. 4.113. A thousand arts are furthered by the goddess: and the wish 4.114. To delight has revealed many things that were hidden. 4.115. Who dares to steal her honour of naming the second month? 4.116. Let such madness be far from my thoughts. 4.117. Besides, though she’s powerful everywhere, her temple 4.118. Crowded, doesn’t she hold most sway in our City? 4.119. Venus, Roman, carried weapons to defend your Troy, 4.120. And groaned at the spear wound in her gentle hand: 4.121. And she defeated two goddesses, by a Trojan judgement, 4.122. (Ah! If only they hadn’t remembered her victory!) 4.123. And she was called the bride of Assaracus’s son, 4.124. So that mighty Caesar would have Julian ancestors. 4.125. No season is more fitting for Venus than Spring: 4.126. In spring the earth gleams: in spring the ground’s soft, 4.127. Now the grass pokes its tips through the broken soil, 4.128. Now the vine bursts in buds through the swollen bark. 4.129. And lovely Venus deserves the lovely season, 4.130. And is joined again to her darling Mars: 4.131. In Spring she tells the curving ships to sail, over 4.132. Her native seas, and fear the winter’s threat no longer. 6.257. They say Rome had celebrated the Parilia forty times, 6.258. When the goddess, the Guardian of the Flame, was received 6.259. In her shrine, the work of Numa, that peace-loving king, 6.260. (None more god-fearing was ever born in Sabine lands.) 6.261. The roofs you see of bronze were roofs of straw then, 6.262. And its walls were made of wickerwork. 6.263. This meagre spot that supports the Hall of Vesta 6.264. Was then the mighty palace of unshorn Numa. 6.265. Yet the form of the temple, that remains, they say, 6.266. Is as before, and is shaped so for good reason. 6.267. Vesta’s identified with Earth: in them both’s unsleeping fire: 6.268. Earth and the hearth are both symbols of home. |

Fit quoque ut a lapide hoc ferri natura recedat 6.1043. inter dum, fugere atque sequi consueta vicissim. 6.1044. exultare etiam Samothracia ferrea vidi 6.1045. et ramenta simul ferri furere intus ahenis 6.1046. in scaphiis, lapis hic Magnes cum subditus esset; 6.1047. usque adeo fugere a saxo gestire videtur. 6.1048. aere interposito discordia tanta creatur 6.1049. propterea quia ni mirum prius aestus ubi aeris 6.1050. praecepit ferrique vias possedit apertas, 6.1051. posterior lapidis venit aestus et omnia plena 6.1052. invenit in ferro neque habet qua tranet ut ante; 6.1053. cogitur offensare igitur pulsareque fluctu 6.1054. ferrea texta suo; quo pacto respuit ab se 6.1055. atque per aes agitat, sine eo quod saepe resorbet. 6.1056. Illud in his rebus mirari mitte, quod aestus 6.1057. non valet e lapide hoc alias impellere item res. 6.1058. pondere enim fretae partim stant, quod genus aurum; 6.1059. at partim raro quia sunt cum corpore, ut aestus 6.1060. pervolet intactus, nequeunt inpellier usquam, 6.1061. lignea materies in quo genere esse videtur. 6.1062. interutrasque igitur ferri natura locata 6.1063. aeris ubi accepit quaedam corpuscula, tum fit, 6.1064. inpellant ut eo Magnesia flumine saxa. 6.1065. nec tamen haec ita sunt aliarum rerum aliena, 6.1066. ut mihi multa parum genere ex hoc suppeditentur, 6.1067. quae memorare queam inter se singlariter apta. 6.1068. saxa vides primum sola colescere calce. 6.1069. glutine materies taurino iungitur una, 6.1070. ut vitio venae tabularum saepius hiscant 6.1071. quam laxare queant compages taurea vincla. 6.1072. vitigeni latices aquai fontibus audent 6.1073. misceri, cum pix nequeat gravis et leve olivom. 6.1074. purpureusque colos conchyli iungitur uno 6.1075. corpore cum lanae, dirimi qui non queat usquam, 6.1076. non si Neptuni fluctu renovare operam des, 6.1077. non mare si totum velit eluere omnibus undis. 6.1078. denique res auro non aurum copulat una, 6.1079. aerique aes plumbo fit uti iungatur ab albo? 6.1080. cetera iam quam multa licet reperire! quid ergo? 6.1081. nec tibi tam longis opus est ambagibus usquam 6.1082. nec me tam multam hic operam consumere par est, 6.1083. sed breviter paucis praestat comprendere multa. 6.1084. quorum ita texturae ceciderunt mutua contra, 6.1085. ut cava conveniant plenis haec illius illa 6.1086. huiusque inter se, iunctura haec optima constat. 6.1087. est etiam, quasi ut anellis hamisque plicata 6.1088. inter se quaedam possint coplata teneri; 6.1089. quod magis in lapide hoc fieri ferroque videtur. | |
