Victoria of widespread wings, powerful Goddess, shining light on the whole world,
Hear this song of your glory, a good praise to your divinity which is desired by all.
Countless golden laurels you have set on the heads of triumphant generals
Who in their exultation made sacrifices to you and the mighty Gods,
But it was your spirit that granted their armies and standards victory.

Goddess deserving of every praise, your image stood in the holy precincts
Of the temple of Jupiter the Greatest and the Best; your altar protected an empire,
And your favor established the sons and daughters of Aeneas as rulers of the world.
Your golden image preserved generations of people and their children from despair.
You are the spirit of victory, always in flight, seeking out the worthy and the well-fated.

Giver of gracious victories, you circle the vault of heaven with great speed,
Giving men the power to overcome all odds set against them in accordance with wisdom.
You are beautiful like the sun on golden grain, and you protect prosperity.
You support the efforts of the brave and pious, and all their illustrious deeds,
And you give their names and deeds the honor of immortal fame.


You have given me triumph with truthful oracles and victories over adversity.
I rightly praise you and make this song for you, and offer you incense.
I ask that you surround my family and protect them, and see my daughter thrive.
Be her protecting divinity, you and your deathless ministers.
Lead her to outcomes of success regardless of what challenges she may face.

May our Pax Deorum be maintained by this rightly offered hymn of praise To great VICTORIA.
By this, Galus Agorius Taurinus willingly and deservedly fulfills his vow.
