vile aliae vulgus, pecorum vice, terga pererrant
caespitis abiecti: non his aut gloria forti
parta manu est, aut clara decus peperere metalla
terrarum venis: habitant ignota locorum
semper inexpertes famae, per inhospita degunt
arva procul, nullis sunt dignae denique musis.
at tu, Phoebe pater, vos clari turba, camenae,
nominis, Aonio famam inspirate labori.
