On youth

Both sons of Jupiter, both young and beardless, one born of Latona, the other of Semele: greetings! And, together, flourish in eternal youth, which by your will may - for me - be long-lasting. You (son of Semele) care for us with wine, and you (son of Latona) ease our illness with food so that bent old age may come to us with slow pace.
