Celestials, who for Rome your cares employ; Ye gods, who guarded the remains of Troy; Ye native gods, here born, and fix’d by fate; Quirinus, founder of the Roman state; Oh parent Mars, from whom Quirinus sprung; Chaste Vesta, Caesar’s household gods among Most sacred held; domestic Phoebus, thou, To whom with Vesta chaste alike we bow; Great guardian of the high Tarpeian rock; And all ye powers, whom poets may invoke; Oh grant, that day may claim our sorrows late, When loved Augustus shall submit to fate, Visit those seats, where gods and heroes dwell, And leave, in tears, the world he ruled so well!
