Iuppiter Idaei risit mendacia busti,
dum videt Augusti Flavia templa poli,
atque inter mensas largo iam nectare fusus,
pocula cum Marti traderet ipse suo,
respiciens Phoebum pariter Phoebique sororem,
cum quibus Alcides et pius Arcas erat
'Gnosia vos' inquit 'nobis monumenta dedistis:
cernite quam plus sit Caesaris esse patrem.'
