ODE XXII. TO DIANA.

He consecrates the pine, which hangs over his villa, to Diana, whose offices he celebrates.

Queen of the mountains far and near,
And of the woodlands wild,
Who, thrice invok'd, art swift to hear,
And save the maids with child;
This pine, that o'er my villa tow'rs,
And from its eminence embow'rs,
I dedicate alone to thee;
Where ev'ry year a pig shall bleed,
Lest his obliquity succeed
Against thy fav'rite tree.
