So
ends the Ludi Victoria! I approach the altar of Victory,
head covered:
Victoria,
noble goddess, because it is good and right to honor
you, and to make public our reverence for you, so have
we offered you these Games. We ask your blessing especially
on those who have worked so hard to make them a success;
may their hard work and merit be known! We ask also
your special blessing upon our nation, that it may grow
and prosper, and upon those of our citizens who serve
in the military service of their macronations.
Victoria,
if anything in these Games or in my offerings to you
be displeasing, I now offer this wine in atonement.
Illicet!
So be it!
