Caesaris alma dies et luce sacratior illa
conscia Dictaeum qua tulit Ida Iouem,
longa, precor, Pylioque ueni numerosior aeuo
semper et hoc uoltu uel meliore nite.
Hic colat Albano Tritonida multus in auro
perque manus tantas plurima quercus eat;
hic colat ingenti redeuntia saecula lustro
et quae Romuleus sacra Tarentos habet.
Magna quidem, superi, petimus, sed debita terris:
pro tanto quae sunt inproba uota deo?
