An Aztec Prayer
Reportedly translated from an original dating from the 1500's
Lord most giving and resourceful, I implore you;
make it your will that this people enjoy the goods and riches
you naturally give,
that naturally issue from you,
that are pleasing and savory,
that delight and comfort,
though lasting but briefly, passing away as if in a dream.
