ODE XXII. To Diana.
Queen of the Mountains and the Groves!
Whose Hand the Teeming Pain removes;
Whose Aid the Sick and Weak implore,
And thrice invoke thy Threefold Pow'r;
Whose Hand the Teeming Pain removes;
Whose Aid the Sick and Weak implore,
And thrice invoke thy Threefold Pow'r;
To thee I dedicate the Pine,
That shades my Farm; a tender Swine,
Who whets his Tusks and threatens War,
Shall crown thy Altar once a Year.
That shades my Farm; a tender Swine,
Who whets his Tusks and threatens War,
Shall crown thy Altar once a Year.
