illic me claudat Boreas, ubi dulce morari est;
tunc piger ad nandum, tunc ego cautus ero
nec faciam surdis convicia fluctibus ulla
triste nataturo nec querar esse fretum.
me pariter venti teneant tenerique lacerti,
per causas istic impediarque duas
cum patietur hiems, remis ego corporis utar;
lumen in adspectu tu modo semper habe.
interea pro me pernoctet epistula tecum,
quam precor ut minima prosequar ipse mora.
