Ut ferme religiosis viantium moris est, cum aliqui lucus aut aliqui locus sanctus in via oblatus est, votum postulare, pomum apponere, paulisper adsidere, ita mihi ingresso sanctissimam istam civitatem, quamquam oppido festinem, praefanda venia et habenda oratio et inhibenda properatio est.
It is generally the custom of pious travelers to offer a prayer, leave some fruit, and make a brief halt if their path brings them to some grove or some hallowed place. So I too as I enter this most venerable city, though pressed for time, must beg your indulgence, make a speech, and slacken my haste.
