Ibis Liburnis inter alta navium,
2
amice, propugnacula,
3
paratus omne Caesaris periculum
4
subire, Maecenas, tuo:
5
quid nos, quibus te vita sit superstite
6
iucunda, si contra, gravis?
7
utrumne iussi persequemur otium
8
non dulce, ni tecum simul,
9
an hunc laborem mente laturi, decet
10
qua ferre non mollis viros?
11
feremus et te vel per Alpium iuga
12
inhospitalem et Caucasum
13
vel occidentis usque ad ultimum sinum
14
forti sequemur pectore.
15
roges, tuom labore quid iuvem meo,
16
inbellis ac firmus parum?
17
comes minore sum futurus in metu,
18
qui maior absentis habet:
19
ut adsidens inplumibus pullis avis
20
serpentium adlapsus timet
21
magis relictis, non, ut adsit, auxili
22
latura plus praesentibus.
23
libenter hoc et omne militabitur
24
bellum in tuae spem gratiae,
25
non ut iuvencis inligata pluribus
26
aratra nitantur meis
27
pecusve Calabris ante Sidus fervidum
28
Lucana mutet pascuis
29
neque ut superni villa candens Tusculi
30
Circaea tangat moenia:
31
satis superque me benignitas tua
32
ditavit, haud paravero
33
quod aut avarus ut Chremes terra premam,
34
discinctus aut perdam nepos.
