| To Apollo
On this date in 28 B.C. the Temple of Apollo
was dedicated on the Palatine Hill in Rome.
Horace, Odes, XXXI
Frui paratis et valido mihi,
Latoe, dones et precor integra
Cum mente nec turpem senectam
Degere nec cithara carentem.
O grant me, Phoebus, calm content,
Strength unimpaird, a mind entire,
Old age without dishonour spent,
Nor unbefriended by the lyre!
— The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace,
John Conington, translator.
London, George Bell and Sons, 1882.

and lost and buried
and then found again"
