Dum nos blanda tenent lascivi stagna Lucrini
Et quae pumiceis fontibus antra calent,
Tu colis Argei regnum, Faustine, coloni,
Quo te bis decimus ducit ab urbe lapis.
Horrida sed fervent Nemeaei pectora monstri,
Nec satis est, Baias igne calere suo.
Ergo sacri fontes et litora grata valete,
Nympharum pariter Nerei+dumque domus.
Herculeos colles gelida vos vincite bruma,
Nunc Tiburtinis cedite frigoribus.
