Guardian of mountains and woods, Virgin,

you who, three times invoked, hear young mothers in labor and redeem them from death, goddess of three forms,

let the pine tree hanging over my farmhouse. be yours, which I in gladness at each passing year might sanctify with the blood of a wild boar sharpening his sideways thrust. (Horace, Odes 3.22)
