&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;{{LanguageBar|{{PAGENAME}}}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anthologia Latina I 781.15==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Grant, I pray, your assistance and ease the pain of our fiery &lt;br /&gt;
passions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Apuleius Metamorphoses 11.2==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
O blessed Queen of Heaven, celestial Venus, who in the beginning of &lt;br /&gt;
the world did join all kinds of things with an engendered love, by an &lt;br /&gt;
eternal propagation of life, now worshipped within the Temple of the &lt;br /&gt;
Isle of Paphos; You who is worshipped in divers manners, and does &lt;br /&gt;
illuminate all the borders of the earth by Your feminine shape, You &lt;br /&gt;
which nourishes all the fruits of the world by Your vigor and force; &lt;br /&gt;
with whatsoever name or fashion it is lawful to call upon You, I pray &lt;br /&gt;
You end my great travail and misery, and deliver me from the wretched &lt;br /&gt;
fortune, which has for so long a time pursued me. Grant peace and &lt;br /&gt;
rest if it please You to reply to my entreaties, for I have endured &lt;br /&gt;
too much labor and peril. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Horcae Carmina 1.30.1-8==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come to us Venus, O Queen of Cnidos and Paphos, leave Cyprus, though &lt;br /&gt;
the isle is dear to You, come instead to where the incense is thick &lt;br /&gt;
and Glycera sings to You, that you may transfer Your home to a new &lt;br /&gt;
shrine among us. Bring along for Your company desirous Cupid, loose-&lt;br /&gt;
girdled Graces and Nymphs, youthful Juventus and Mercury, who without &lt;br /&gt;
You are graceless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Horcae Carmina 4.1.1-2==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After so long a time, do You once more disturb my peace of mind with &lt;br /&gt;
desires? Spare me, Venus, I pray, I beg of You!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Laevius FPR fr. 26==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore adoring You as though You were nurturing Venus Herself, &lt;br /&gt;
whether You are female, or whether You are male, even so, &lt;br /&gt;
Illuminating the Night, You are a nurturing Moon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Lucretius De Rerum Natura 1.1-9==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Venus Genetrix, charmer of gods and mankind, nurturing Mother, &lt;br /&gt;
beneath the starry signs that glide through the night, You enliven &lt;br /&gt;
the ship-bearing seas and the fruitful earth, since it is through You &lt;br /&gt;
that all things are conceived and animated into life to behold the &lt;br /&gt;
Light of Day. Goddess, for You the winds make way, the heavenly &lt;br /&gt;
clouds open at Your coming, the miraculous earth greets You with &lt;br /&gt;
sweet scented flowers, for You the surface of the seas laugh, and the &lt;br /&gt;
peaceful heavens glisten in luminescence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Martial Epigrammata 9.90.13-18==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Restore our youth, Venus, restore our healthy glow, and the kalends &lt;br /&gt;
of March they will devote to the Paphian goddess. Gladly will the &lt;br /&gt;
procession wind to Your altar, in shining white robes they will bring &lt;br /&gt;
You sweet incense and pure wine, served with glistening morsels of &lt;br /&gt;
meat piled as delicate petit fors. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nemesianus Eclogue 2.57-59==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Venus, Daughter of Dione, You who touches the lofty ridges of Eryx, &lt;br /&gt;
into whose care, throughout all the centuries, the unions of men and &lt;br /&gt;
their lovers have been placed, what, I pray, have I come to merit?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ovid Ars Amore 1.30==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Restore our youth, Venus, restore our healthy glow, and the kalends &lt;br /&gt;
of March they will devote to the Paphian goddess. Gladly will the &lt;br /&gt;
procession wind to Your altar, in shining white robes they will bring &lt;br /&gt;
You sweet incense and pure wine, served with glistening morsels of &lt;br /&gt;
meat piled as delicate petit fors. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ovid Ars Amore 2.14-15==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, if ever before, I required Your favor, Venus Cytherrea, and that &lt;br /&gt;
of Your son, and now, too, Erato, whose erotic name exudes Love.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ovid Amores 1.3.1-6 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My prayer is just. May Venus hear all our many prayers. Take one &lt;br /&gt;
who would serve You through long years, accept one who knows how to &lt;br /&gt;
love with a pure heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ovid Amores 3.2.55-7 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Winsome Venus, to You we pray, and to Your children with the mighty &lt;br /&gt;
bow Assent to my undertaking, and may You change my lady's mind, make &lt;br /&gt;
her open to love.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ovid Heroides 15.57-58==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am Yours, Venus Ericina, who also celebrates the Sicilian &lt;br /&gt;
mountains, O Goddess, look after your prophetic poet, you who has the &lt;br /&gt;
name of Love.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ovid Fasti 4.1==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nurturing Venus, Mother of the twin Loves, favour me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ovid Metamorphoses 10.640-41==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Venus of Cytherea, I pray that you come to our venture, and that she &lt;br /&gt;
gives herself to whom you help in passion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Petronius Arbiter Satyricon 85==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Venus, if I may kiss this boy without his knowing, a pair of &lt;br /&gt;
doves I'll give tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plautus Bacchides 892-95==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Jupiter and all the gods and goddesses, Juno and Ceres, Minerva, &lt;br /&gt;
Latona, Hope, and Ops, Virtue, Venus, Castor and Pollux, Mars, &lt;br /&gt;
Mercurius, Hercules, Summanus, Sol and Saturnus, I swear she is not &lt;br /&gt;
lying with him, walking hand-in-hand with him, kissing him full upon &lt;br /&gt;
the lips, or in any other way, as they say, being familiar with him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plautus Miles Gloriosus 1228-30==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Venus, I offer You thanks, and I beg and entreat You that I may win &lt;br /&gt;
the man I love and long for, and that he may be gracious to me, and &lt;br /&gt;
not reject my desire for him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plautus Poenulus 125==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Venus, of the little I have to offer, I willingly give You a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plautus Rodens 694-701==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kind Venus, tearfully we plead to You, as we kneel and clasp this &lt;br /&gt;
your altar, receive us into Your safekeeping and watch over us. Take &lt;br /&gt;
vengeance on the wicked who have belittled your sanctuary, and in &lt;br /&gt;
Your goodness let us remain at this altar as a refuge from our &lt;br /&gt;
suffering... be not offended with us, nor hold us at fault, if there &lt;br /&gt;
be anything about us that to you is unclean. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plautus Rodens 702-5 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Venus, I think that this is a fair request and that you should grant &lt;br /&gt;
it. Their fears have driven them to it. If you yourself, as they &lt;br /&gt;
say, came from a seashell, then you should not object to the soiled &lt;br /&gt;
shell of their garments. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plautus Rudens 144-46 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May Venus, or better still Ceres see that no risk of danger befall &lt;br /&gt;
you as you travel from here to your home for lunch; Venus cares for &lt;br /&gt;
lovers, Ceres cares for wheat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plautus Rudens 1348-9 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Venus, I pray to You that all pimps may suffer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Propertius Eligiae 2.16.13-14==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
O Venus, come quickly now to give succor to our sorrows; may love &lt;br /&gt;
erupt in the hearts of those passionate limbs we continually desire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Propertius Eligiae 3.4.19-22==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Preserve one of Your own sons, Venus, let it be in this lifetime, may &lt;br /&gt;
You perceive those remaining descendents of Aeneas. May there be &lt;br /&gt;
plunder enough in this for them, that honest rewards are piled up &lt;br /&gt;
from hard work. For me it shall be enough if able to dance along the &lt;br /&gt;
Sacred Way in praise of the Gods. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Statius Achilleis 1.143-44==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lead on, O best of Mothers, I plead, lead on, and exhaust the Gods &lt;br /&gt;
with humble entreaties (on my behalf).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tibullus 1.2.41-2; 56; 99-100==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Venus born of blood and thought to be born of the ocean, too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three times sing, (I'm told), and three times spit upon the ground as &lt;br /&gt;
you say this charm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;At the very least, Venus, preserve one who in his heart always &lt;br /&gt;
serves you. What offerings shall I set upon your altar to appease &lt;br /&gt;
your anger?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tibullus 3.3.33-8==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come, Saturn's daughter, give favor to my prayer! Hear me, Cyprian &lt;br /&gt;
Venus, who was born along on a conch shell! Rather let my fate be &lt;br /&gt;
denied, than that my life should now be sorrowfully ended by those &lt;br /&gt;
sisters who spin the threads of everyone's future, and called down by &lt;br /&gt;
ghastly Orcus into the desolate swamps and sluggish streams of black &lt;br /&gt;
waters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tibullus 3.9.4==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May Venus keep him safe for me; may Amor preserve my love.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Valerius Flaccus Argonautica 2.611-12==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
O Cretheian Virgin, borne on graceful and gentle waves, unfold the &lt;br /&gt;
way, Goddess, and show us what course to follow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Virgil Catalepton 14==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If I am to further my undertaking, to traverse all the world, O &lt;br /&gt;
Venus, who dwells in Paphos and in Idalian groves, so that Trojan &lt;br /&gt;
Aeneas is thought worthy at last to sail with You in song through &lt;br /&gt;
Roman towns, not only with incense or painted tablet shall I adorn &lt;br /&gt;
Your temple, and with pure hands bring You garlands, but a humble &lt;br /&gt;
offering of a horned ram and a bull, the greatest sacrifice, their &lt;br /&gt;
blood a priest shall sprinkle into the fire of an altar erected in &lt;br /&gt;
Your honor, and a marble painted in a thousand colours for You, a &lt;br /&gt;
picture of Amor with His quiver. Come, O Goddess of Cythera, Your &lt;br /&gt;
own Caesar and an altar along Sorrento's shore beckon You from &lt;br /&gt;
Olympus.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
