Am I to suffer the vagaries of vicarious reverence , a share in the worship of my divinity ? Is a girl , destined to die , to tread the earth in my likeness ?
Nimirum communi numinis piamento vicariae venerationis incertum sustinebo , et imaginem meam circumferet puella moritura .
Oh yes , and I must be content , of course , with the reflected glory of worship paid to this girl , grateful for a share in the expiatory sacrifices offered to her instead of me ?
