num Veneris magnae violavi numina verbo, et mea nunc poenas impia lingua luit? num feror incestus sedes adiisse deorum sertaque de sanctis deripuisse focis? non ego, si merui, dubitem procumbere templis et dare sacratis oscula liminibus, non ego tellurem genibus perrepere supplex et miserum sancto tundere poste caput.
Have I wronged the godhead of Venus by aught that I have said, and does my tongue now pay the penalty of sin? Can they say of me that I have wickedly invaded an abode of gods and plucked the garland from the sacred altar? Am I guilty, then I will not shrink to fall prone before her temple and to press kisses on its hallowed threshold, nor to crawl on suppliant knees along the earth and beat my head against the sacred door-posts.
