60. To JupiterCapitolinus -

O SACRED ruler of Tarpeia's hall,
Whom, while our chief is safe, we Thunderer call;
Let other men to thee petition make
And ask that they thy gifts divine may take;
But be not wroth with me if naught I crave,
Nor bounty for myself desire to have.
For Caesar all my prayers are made to heaven:
From Caesar all I need is freely given.
