Si mihi qui quondam flagraverat Entheus ardor
Nunc foret, et vatem non deseruisset Apollo,
Auderem fortasse aliquid Fernande tuisque
Impiger au spiciis agitarem in pulvere currum,
Et fortasse aliquam possem sperare coromam:
ipsa licet sacros mittat tibi Roma Poetas.
inque tuas laudes nobiscum Gallia certet,
Causa foret melior Germanica juratuentis.
Est aliquid Princeps, natum te Teutona, qualem
Omnis terra velit, sed nobis munere fati
Tu datus, exemplum coeli, specimenque deorum.
Missus ut afflictis posses succurrere rebus
Te duce barbaries late dominata per agros
Pulsa fugit: Themis alima redit, janique tenentur
Clausa tais manibus ferratae limina portae.
Et dubitamus adhuc virtutem extollere versu
ettonaque heroem melius colat accola Tibris:
Inque tuis oculis poterit Germania vinci
Cantibus externis; hoc nec tu siveris ipse
avertantque nefas patriae, nova numina Musae.
ae mihi si calor ille foret super usque juventae
Carmina cum pangens non inficianda Camoenis
Tercentum versus fundebam luce sub una
Te canerem victor numero, si pontere cedam,
Obrueremque levi meliores nube poetas,
Ut jaculis parthus funda Balearicus hostem
Cottidiana tuas offerrem munera ad aras
Musaque inexhausta flueret mihi lubrica vena
Nec me materies quae pars est maxima coepti
Fabula adulatrix quam frustra in carmine supplet
