Dante tibi turba querulos, Auguste, libellos
nos quoque quod domino carmina parua damus,
posse deum rebus pariter Musisque uacare
scimus et haec etiam serta placere tibi.
Fer uates, Auguste, tuos: nos gloria dulcis,
nos tua cura prior deliciaeque sumus.
Non quercus te sola decet nec laurea Phoebi:
fiat et ex hedera ciuica nostra tibi.
