- pervigil, a devotional watching, vigil: castra pervigilio neglecta, L., Ta.
(lit. “a night-watch”). A nocturnal festival in honour of a divinity, especially that of the Bona Dea, at which originally only married women were allowed to be present. In imperial times, when the presence of men was permitted, a nocturnal festival to Venus was also instituted. Such a festival, extending over three nights in the spring, is referred to in an anonymous poem called the Pervigilium Venĕris, of the second or third century A.D. It consists of ninety-three trochaic septenarii, separated into unequal strophae by the recurring refrain, Cras amet qui nunquam amavit, quique amavit cras amet. It celebrates in a lively strain the power of Venus, particularly as displayed in springtime, lauding her as the giver of life to all, and as the ancestress and patroness of Rome. The editio princeps is that of Pithoeus (Paris, 1577). An edition with notes and emendations is that of Bücheler (Leipzig, 1859); it is also given in Bährens's Unedierte lat. Gedichte (Leipzig, 1877); and there is an édition de luxe by Owen (1893).
