Post resides annos longo velut excita somno
Romanis fruitur nostra Thalia choris.
optatos renovant eadem mihi culmina coetus,
personat et note Pythia vate domus :
5consulis hie fasces cecini Libyamque receptam,
hic mihi prostratis bella canenda Getis.
Sed prior effigiem tribuit successus aenam,
oraque patricius nostra dicavit honos ;
adnuit hic princeps titulum poscente senatu ;
10respice iudicium quam grave, Musa, subis !
ingenio minuit merces properata favorem :
carminibus veniam praemia tanta negant ;
et magis intento studium censore laborat,
quod legimur medio conspicimurque foro.
15Materies tamen ipsa iuvat solitumque timorem
dicturo magna sedula parte levat.
nam mihi conciliat gratas impensius aures
vel meritum belli vel Stilichonis amor.
