“Diana’s Birthdate” (August 13)
Hail Diana the Queen
Lady of Lanuvium
most beautiful virgin
moon of silver light
First child of Leto
born without pain,
give to all the gift
which is your blessedness
Favor us all
with the spoils of the hunt–
bear and lion
and swift hare
Queen of the Sacred Grove
Mirror-like (one) of Lanuvium
by liberation of slaves
you are called “Holy”
Giver of rest
Divine Huntress Goddess

protectress of nature
Share with Antinous
into many temples
by your divine grace
your great favors
Praised with Antinous
O Most Splendid goddess,
Hail, Goddess of the Moon Diana!
