Living
Odes 3.22 (Gladstone): Montium Custos
Translated by W. E. Gladstone (1894) · From Odes, Book III
Living
Of hills and groves thou guardian maid,
Who sav'st young mothers in their pain
When thrice invoked, and art arrayed
With threefold reign:
Long o'er my villa lean the pine,
To which a sidelong-striking boar
Each year I gladly bring as thine,
And shed his gore.
