Prayer

Horace, Odes 1.31.17-20 (tr. Niall Rudd):
Grant, o son of Latona, that I may enjoy what I possess—in good health, I pray you, and with full mental vigour; and may I have an old age that is not lacking in dignity or bereft of music.

frui paratis et valido mihi,
Latoe, dones, et, precor, integra
    cum mente, nec turpem senectam
        degere nec cithara carentem.
