Perpetui numquam moritura uolumina Sili
qui legis et Latia carmina digna toga,
Pierios tantum uati placuisse recessus
credis et Aoniae Bacchica serta comae?
Sacra cothurnati non attigit ante Maronis
impleuit magni quam Ciceronis opus:
hunc miratur adhuc centum grauis hasta uirorum,
hunc loquitur grato plurimus ore cliens.
Postquam bis senis ingentem fascibus annum
rexerat adserto qui sacer orbe fuit,
emeritos Musis et Phoebo tradidit annos
proque suo celebrat nunc Helicona foro.
