Anxuris aequorei placidos, Frontine, recessus
Et propius Baias litoreamque domum,
Et quod inhumanae cancro fervente cicadae
Non novere nemus, flumineosque lacus
Dum colui, doctas tecum celebrare vacabat
Pieridas: nunc nos maxima Roma terit.
Hic mihi quando dies meus est? iactamur in alto
Urbis, et in sterili vita labore perit,
Dura suburbani dum iugera pascimus agri
Vicinosque tibi, sancte Quirine, lares.
Sed non solus amat qui nocte dieque frequentat
Limina, nec vatem talia damna decent.
Per veneranda mihi Musarum sacra, per omnes
Iuro deos: Et non officiosus amo.
