    Prayer to Ceres and Proserpina

    Livy · Ab Urbe Condita · 24.38.8

    Mother Ceres and Proserpina and all You Gods above and below who inhabit the city, these hallowed lakes and groves, I pray that You attend us with Your favor and support, if it should be that we are taking this initial step for the purpose of guarding against treacherous falsehood, not practicing it.
