Hymn to Mars
The Fumigation from
Frankincense.

Magnanimous, unconquered,
boistrous Mars,
In darts rejoicing, and in bloody
wars:
Fierce and untamed, whose
mighty power can make
The strongest walls from their
foundations shake:
Mortal destroying king, defiled
with gore,
Pleased with war's dreadful and
tumultuous roar:
Thee, human blood, and swords,
and spears delight,
And the dire ruin of mad savage
fight.
Stay, furious contests, and
avenging strife,
Whose works with woe, embitter
human life;
To lovely Venus, and to Bacchus
yield,
To Ceres give the weapons of
the field;
Encourage peace, to gentle
works inclined,
And give abundance, with
benignant mind.

Translated by Thomas Taylor.
