Cum tua sacrilegos contra, Norbane, furores
staret pro domino Caesare sancta fides,
haec ego Pieria ludebam tutus in umbra,
ille tuae cultor notus amicitiae.
me tibi Vindelicis Raetus narrabat in oris
nescia nec nostri nominis Arctos erat:
o quotiens veterem non inficiatus amicum
dixisti 'Meus est iste poeta, meus!'
omne tibi nostrum quod bis trieteride iuncta
ante dabat lector, nunc dabit auctor opus.
