si verum quaeris, Triviae sub nomine daemon tartareus colitur, qui te modo raptat ad aethram sidereoque deum venerandum suadet in astro, per silvas modo mortiferi discurrere mundi erroresque sequi subigit nemorumque putare esse deam, quae corda hominum pavitantia figat quaeque feras perimat letali vulnere mentes, depressos modo subter humum formidine sensus obruit, inplorent ut numina lucis egena seque potestati committant noctis opertae.
If you seek the truth, it is a devil from hell that is worshipped under the name of Trivia, one that now carries you off to the skies and tells you there is a god to be worshipped in the form of a star in the heavens, again compels you to run about and about on the mazy forest-paths of the deadly world and to think there is a goddess of the woodlands who pierces mens trembling hearts and with a mortal wound slays their wild spirits, and again plunges your mind beneath the ground and overwhelms it with fear, to make it pray to spirits of darkness and commit itself to the power of black night.
