for the Republic of the people of Rome, the Quirites, and if from

this day You will preserve their health from peril, whereby they

remain as they are today, or indeed their lot is improved by good

results,] then if You would also make it so, then to You, in the same

words, in the name of the college of Fratres Arvales I vow to

sacrifice to You in the future an ox cow with gilt horns.

Jupiter Optimus Maximus, Juno Regina, Minerva, and all you other gods

you allow your defender, the protector of your shrines, to be

treated, to be vexed and harassed by his enemies in this manner?

divine twins, Apollo and Diana, hear my prayer.

Jupiter Optimus Maximus, Juno Regina, and You virtuous dancer,

this meeting of the Senate of the Roman people, grant these Roman

soldiers, and those soldiers of our allies and of friendly foreign

nations as well, that they will serve as he commands.

Proud, warlike Goddess, great honor and wisdom of Your Father,

powerful in war are You, on whom the grim helmet is borne with its
+
frightful decoration, speckled with the Gorgon's blood that glows
+
more violent with increasing rage, never has Mavors or Bellona with
+
Her battle spear inspired more ardent calls to arms on the war
+
trumpets than You. May You with Your nod accept this sacrificial
+
offering. Whether You come from Mount Pandion to our rites by night,
+
or from dancing happily in Ainian Itone, or from washing once more
+
Your hair in the waters of Libyan Triton, or whether the winged axle
+
of your war chariot, with its paired pure-bred horses carries you
+
astride its beam, shouting aloud, now, to You, we dedicate the
+
shattered spoils of virile men and their battered armour. Should I
+
return to my Parthaonian fields, and upon being sighted Martian
+
Pleuron should throw open wide her gates for me, then amid her hills,
+
at the center of the city, I shall dedicate to you a golden temple
+
where it may be your pleasure to look upon Ionian storms, and where
+
Achelous tosses about his flaxen hair to disturb the sea where it
+
leaves behind the breakers of Echinades. In here will I display
+
accounts of ancestral wars and the death-masks of great hearted
+
kings, and affix the arms of the proud in the rotunda that I have
+
returned with myself, taken at the cost of my own blood, and those,
+
Tritonia, that you will grant when Thebes is captured. There a
+
hundred Calydonian virgins will serve in devotions at your altar,
+
shall duly twine the Actaean torches, and weave from Your chaste
+
olive tree purple sacrificial fillets with snow white strands of
+
wool. At nightly vigils an aged priestess will tend your altar's
+
fire, and never will she neglect to safeguard your modesty, attending
+
in secret to the rites of your boudoir. To you in war, to you in
+
peace, the first fruits of our labors shall be borne, without offence
+
to Diana.
