    Prayer to Priapus, Nymphae, Iuppiter, Venus, Cupido, Gratiae, Liber

    JULIUS AGATHEMERUS (DEDICATOR) · HYMN TO PRIAPUS, CIL XIV 3565 · Tivoli inscription

    Salve, sancte pater Priape rerum, salve. Mihi floridam iuventam da mihi ut pueris ut puellis fascino placeam bonis procaci lusibusque frequentibus iocisque dissipem curas animo nocentes nec gravem timeam nimis senectam, angar haud miserae pavore mortis qua ad domus trahet invidas Averni, fabulas Manes ubi rex coercet, unde fata negant redire quemquam. Salve, sancte pater Priape, salve. Convenite simul quot estis omnes, quae sacrum colitis nemus puellae, quae sacras colitis aquas puellae, convenite quot estis atque bello voce dicite blandula Priapo: salve, sancte pater Priape rerum. Inguini oscula figite inde mille, fascinum bene olentibus coronis cingite illi iterumque dicite omnes: salve, sancte pater Priape rerum. Nam malos arcens homines cruentos ire per silvas dat ille vobis perque opaca silentia incruenta, ille fontibus arcet et scelestos, inprobo pede qui sacros liquores transeunt faciuntque turbulentos qui lavantque manus nec ante multa invocant prece vos, deae puellae. O Priape fave alme, dicite omnes, salve, sancte pater Priape salve. O Priape potens amice, salve, seu cupis genitor vocari et auctor orbis aut Physis ipsa Panque, salve. Namque concipitur tuo vigore quod solum replet aethera atque pontum. Ergo salve, Priape, salve, sancte. Saeva Iuppiter ipse te volente ultro fulmina ponit atque sedes lucidas cupidus suas relinquit. Te Venus bona, fervidus Cupido, Gratia et geminae colunt sorores atque laetitiae dator Lyaeus. Namque te sine nec Venus probatur, Gratiae illepidae, Cupido, Bacchus. O Priape potens amice, salve. Te vocant prece virgines pudicae, zonulam ut solvas diu ligatam, teque nupta vocat sit ut marito nervus saepe rigens potensque semper. Salve, sancte pater Priape, salve.

    Prayer to Venus Verticordia, Fortuna Virilis

    OVID · FASTI · IV (Veneralia section, April 1)

    Rite deam colitis, Latiae matresque nurusque et vos, quis vittae longaque vestis abest. Aurea marmoreo redimicula demite collo, demite divitias: tota lavanda dea est. Aurea siccato redimicula reddite collo: nunc alii flores, nunc nova danda rosa est. Vos quoque sub viridi myrto iubet ipsa lavari: causaque cur iubeat, discite, certa subest. Litore siccabat rorantes nuda capillos: viderunt satyri, turba proterva, deam. Sensit et opposita texit sua corpora myrto: tuta fuit facto, vosque referre iubet. Discite nunc, quare Fortunae tura Virili detis eo, gelida qui locus umet aqua. Accipit ille locus posito velamine cunctas et vitium nudi corporis omne videt; ut tegat hoc celetque viros, Fortuna Virilis praestat et hoc parvo ture rogata facit. Nec pigeat tritum nive cum lacte papaver sumere et expressis mella liquata favis: cum primum cupido Venus est deducta marito, hoc bibit; ex illo tempore nupta fuit. Supplicibus verbis illam placate: sub illa et forma et mores et bona fama manet. Roma pudicitia proavorum tempore lapsa est: Cumaeam, veteres, consuluistis anum. Templa iubet fieri Veneri: quibus ordine factis inde Venus verso nomina corde tenet. Semper ad Aeneadas placido, pulcherrima, voltu respice, totque tuas, diva, tuere nurus.
