by Gaius Valerius Catullus (c84 BCE - 54 BCE)
Dianae sumus in fide
Language: Latin
Dianae sumus in fide puellae et pueri integri; Dianam pueri integri puellaeque canamus. O Latonia, maximi magna progenies Iovis, quam mater prope Deliam deposivit olivam, montium domina ut fores silvarumque virentium saltuumque reconditorum amniumque sonantum; tu Lucina dolentibus Iuno dicta puerperis, tu potens Trivia et notho es dicta lumine Luna. tu cursu, dea, menstruo metiens iter annuum rustica agricolae bonis tecta frugibus exples. sis quocumque tibi placet sancta nomine, Romulique, antique ut solita es, bona sospites ope gentem.
