Cyllenes caelique decus, facunde minister,
aurea cui torto uirga dracone uiret:
sic tibi lasciui non desit copia furti,
siue cupis Paphien seu Ganymede cales;
maternaeque sacris ornentur frondibus Idus
et senior parca mole prematur auus:
hunc semper Norbana diem cum coniuge Carpo
laeta colat, primis quo coiere toris.
Hic pius antistes sophiae sua dona ministrat,
hic te ture uocat fidus et ipse Ioui.
