Tyndaris

Ô blanche Tyndaris, les Dieux me sont amis :
  Ils aiment les Muses Latines;
Et l'aneth et le myrte et le thym des collines
  Croissent aux prés qu'ils m'ont soumis.

Viens ; mes ramiers chéris, aux voluptés plaintives,
  Ici se plaisent à gémir ;
Et sous l'épais feuillage il est doux de dormir
  Au [bord]1 des sources fugitives.

Tyndaris

Oh, white Tyndaris, the gods hold me dear:
  They love the Latin Muses;
And dill and myrtle and thyme from the hills
  Grow in the meadows they gave me.

Come; my cherished wood pigeons, luxuriating in sorrow,
  Moan happily here;
And beneath thick foliage it is sweet to sleep
  [Beside]1 fleeing water.
