Summary

  1. Maecenas atauis edite regibus,

  2. o et praesidium et dulce decus meum:

  3. sunt quos curriculo puluerem Olympicum

  4. collegisse iuuat, metaque feruidis

  5. euitata rotis palmaque nobilis 5

  6. terrarum dominos euehit ad deos;

  7. hunc, si mobilium turba Quiritium

  8. certat tergeminis tollere honoribus,

  9. illum, si proprio condidit horreo

  10. quidquid de Libycis uerritur areis. 10

  11. gaudentem patrios findere sarculo

  12. agros Attalicis condicionibus

  13. numquam demoueas, ut trabe Cypria

  14. Myrtoum pauidus nauta secet mare.

  15. luctantem Icariis fluctibus Africum 15

  16. mercator metuens otium et oppidi

  17. laudat rura sui; mox reficit rates

  18. quassas indocilis pauperiem pati.

  19. est qui nec ueteris pocula Massici

  20. nec partem solido demere de die 20

  21. spernit, nunc uiridi membra sub arbuto

  22. stratus, nunc ad aquae lene caput sacrae.

  23. multos castra iuuant et lituo tubae

  24. permixtus sonitus bellaque matribus

  25. detestata. manet sub Ioue frigido25

  26. uenator tenerae coniugis immemor,

  27. seu uisa est catulis cerua fidelibus

  28. seu rupit teretes Marsus aper plagas.

  29. me doctarum hederae praemia frontium

  30. dis miscent superis, me gelidum nemus 30

  31. Nympharumque leues cum Satyris chori

  32. secernunt populo, si neque tibias

  33. Euterpe cohibet nec Polyhymnia

  34. Lesboum refugit tendere barbiton.
