Muse sing the deeds of golden Aphrodite	A
Who wakens with her smile the lulled delight	B
Of sweet desire taming the eternal kings	C
Of Heaven and men and all the living things	C
That fleet along the air or whom the sea	A
Or earth with her maternal ministry	A
Nourish innumerable thy delight	B
All seek O crowned Aphrodite	A
Three spirits canst thou not deceive or quell	D
Minerva child of Jove who loves too well	D
Fierce war and mingling combat and the fame	E
Of glorious deeds to heed thy gentle flame	E
Diana golden shafted queen	F
Is tamed not by thy smiles the shadows green	F
Of the wild woods the bow the	G
And piercing cries amid the swift pursuit	H
Of beasts among waste mountains such delight	B
Is hers and men who know and do the right	B
Nor Saturn s first born daughter Vesta chaste	I
Whom Neptune and Apollo wooed the last	J
Such was the will of aegis bearing Jove	K
But sternly she refused the ills of Love	K
And by her mighty Father s head she swore	L
An oath not unperformed that evermore	L
A virgin she would live mid deities	M
Divine her father for such gentle ties	N
Renounced gave glorious gifts thus in his hall	O
She sits and feeds luxuriously O er all	O
In every fane her honours first arise	N
From men the eldest of Divinities	M
	-
These spirits she persuades not nor deceives	M
But none beside escape so well she weaves	M
Her unseen toils nor mortal men nor gods	M
Who live secure in their unseen abodes	M
She won the soul of him whose fierce delight	B
Is thunder first in glory and in might	B
And as she willed his mighty mind deceiving	P
With mortal limbs his deathless limbs inweaving	P
Concealed him from his spouse and sister fair	Q
Whom to wise Saturn ancient Rhea bare	Q
but in return	R
In Venus Jove did soft desire awaken	S
That by her own enchantments overtaken	S
She might no more from human union free	A
Burn for a nursling of mortality	A
For once amid the assembled Deities	M
The laughter loving Venus from her eyes	M
	-
Shot forth the light of a soft starlight smile	T
And boasting said that she secure the while	T
Could bring at Will to the assembled Gods	M
The mortal tenants of earth s dark abodes	M
And mortal offspring from a deathless stem	U
She could produce in scorn and spite of them	U
Therefore he poured desire into her breast	V
Of young Anchises	M
Feeding his herds among the mossy fountains	M
Of the wide Ida s many folded mountains	M
Whom Venus saw and loved and the love clung	P
Like wasting fire her senses wild among	P
