Gods of the Forum, blaze with gifts;

Right and left the flame mounts high,

Spiring to the sky,

With the gentle soothings cherished

Of the oil that knows no malice,[n11]

And the sacred cake that smokes

From the queen’s chamber in the palace.

What thou canst and may’st, declare;

Be the healer of the care

That bodes black harm within me; change it
