Ite, precor, pariter numeri, gremiumque salutis
Ferte viro aonis reserat cui ianua silve:
Ite, precor, via quippe brevis nulloque labore
Est vobis adeunda; procul nam saxea moles
5Et scopuli, nullumque potest occurrere levum.
Non vos belligeri vultus decernere martis,
Iam non antei libie residentis in antris.
Ibitis ymo viri quem pascunt pascua cigni
Et quem virgilii grandis sapientia nutrit.
10Postera sit vobis prontissima cura precandi
Quatenus involucrum, quamvis sit forte ligatum,
Solvat et acephali michi libri metra severi
Mictat, Virgilio sed non sapienter adempta.
