Ode XXII. To Diana.

Of Groves and Mountains guardian Maid,
Invok'd by three mysterious Names;
Goddess three-form'd, whose willing Aid
With gracious Power appears display'd,
From Death to save our pregnant Dames:
To thee I consecrate the Pine,
Which nodding waves my Villa round,
And here, beneath thy hallow'd Shrine,
Yearly shall bleed a festal Swine,
That meditates the side-long Wound.
