Nunc hilares, si quando mihi, nunc ludite, Musae:
uictor ab Odrysio redditur orbe deus.
Certa facis populi tu primus uota, December:
iam licet ingenti dicere uoce "Venit!"
felix sorte tua! Poteras non cedere Iano,
gaudia si nobis quae dabit ille dares.
Festa coronatus ludet conuicia miles,
inter laurigeros cum comes ibit equos.
Fas audire iocos leuioraque carmina, Caesar,
et tibi, si lusus ipse triumphus amat.
