Metamorphoses - Ovid
[1201] “Venus, the man on whose behalf you are
[1202] so anxious, already has completed his
[1203] alloted time.
The years are ended which
[1204] he owed to life on earth.
You with his son,
[1205] who now as heir to his estate must bear
[1206] the burden of that government, will cause
[1207] him, as a deity, to reach the heavens,
[1208] and to be worshipped in the temples here.
[1209] “The valiant son will plan revenge on those
[1210] who killed his father and will have our aid
[1211] in all his battles.
The defeated walls
[1212] of scarred Mutina, which he will besiege,
[1213] shall sue for peace.
Pharsalia’s plain will dread
[1214] his power and Macedonian Philippi
[1215] be drenched with blood a second time, the name
[1216] of one acclaimed as ‘Great’ shall be subdued
[1217] in the Sicilian waves.
Then Egypt’s queen,
[1218] wife of the Roman general, Antony,
[1219] shall fall, while vainly trusting in his word,
[1220] while vainly threatening that our Capitol
[1221] must be submissive to Canopus’ power.
[1222] “Why should I mention all the barbarous lands
[1223] and nations east and west by ocean’s rim?
[1224] Whatever habitable earth contains
[1225] shall bow to him, the sea shall serve his will!
[1226] “With peace established over all the lands,
[1227] he then will turn his mind to civil rule
[1228] and as a prudent legislator will
[1229] enact wise laws.
And he will regulate
[1230] the manners of his people by his own
[1231] example.
Looking forward to the days
[1232] of future time and of posterity,
[1238] Meanwhile transform the soul, which shall be reft
[1239] from this doomed body, to a starry light,
[1240] that always god-like Julius may look down
[1241] in future from his heavenly residence
[1242] upon our Forum and our Capitol.”
[1243] Jupiter hardly had pronounced these words,
[1244] when kindly Venus, although seen by none,
[1245] stood in the middle of the Senate-house,
[1246] and caught from the dying limbs and trunk
[1247] of her own Caesar his departing soul.
[1248] She did not give it time so that it could
[1249] dissolve in air, but bore it quickly up,
[1250] toward all the stars of heaven; and on the way,
[1251] she saw it gleam and blaze and set it free.
[1252] Above the moon it mounted into heaven,
[1253] leaving behind a long and fiery trail,
[1254] and as a star it glittered in the sky.
Gospel of Matthew
The Birth of Jesus Christ
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way.
When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”
(which means, God with us).
24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son.
And he called his name Jesus.
The Visit of the Wise Men
2 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?
For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:
6 “ ‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’
”
7 Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.”
9 After listening to the king, they went on their way.
And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.
11 And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him.
Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.
