A Hymn for the Eternal City
Horace, Carmen Saeculare 1-12
O Phoebus and Diana Ruler of the woods, Heaven’s bright glory, o deities Who should always be worshipped And always have been worshipped, Grant the things we pray for At this holy time, The time at which the verses Of the Sibyl have advised Chosen virgin girls And chastely minded boys To sing a song to the gods Who favor the Seven Hills. And you, nurturing Sun, You who both bring forth The daylight and conceal it With your shining chariot, You who are reborn Both different and the same, May you not be able To espy a single thing Greater than the city of Rome! Phoebe silvarumque potens Diana, lucidum caeli decus, o colendi semper et culti, date quae precamur tempore sacro, quo Sibyllini monuere versus virgines lectas puerosque castos dis, quibus septem placuere colles, dicere carmen. alme Sol, curru nitido diem qui promis et celas aliusque et idem nasceris, possis nihil urbe Roma visere maius.
