Mox per odoratos campos, et perpetuum ver, 15
Produceremur in loca,
Semper ubi, antiquis in amoribus, heroinæ
Heroas inter nobileis
Aut ducunt choreas, alternave carmina lætæ
In valle cantant myrteâ; 20
Quà violisque rosisque, et flavicomis Narcissis,
Umbraculis trementibus,
Illudit lauri nemus, et crepitante suserno
Tepidi suavè sibilant
Æternùm zephyri; nec vomere saucia tellus 25
Fœcunda solvit ubera.
Turba beatorum nobis affurgeret omnis;
Inque herbidis sedilibus
Inter Mæonidas primâ nos fede locarent:
Nec ulla amatricum Jovis 30
Præerepto cedens indignaretur honore,
Nec nata Tyndaris Jove. 32
