Quanta Gigantei memoratur mensa triumphi
Quantaque nox superis omnibus illa fuit,
Qua bonus accubuit genitor cum plebe deorum
Et licuit Faunis poscere vina Iovem:
Tanta tuas celebrant, Caesar, convivia laurus;
Exhilarant ipsos gaudia nostra deos.
Vescitur omnis eques tecum populusque patresque,
Et capit ambrosias cum duce Roma dapes.
Grandia pollicitus quanto maiora dedisti!
Promissa est nobis sportula, recta data est.
