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, candida Tindari, mi sono amici gli Dei:
essi amano le Muse latine;
E l'Aneto ed il Mirto ed il Timo delle colline
fioriscono nei prati che essi hanno steso ai miei piedi.

Vieni; le mie amate colombe, dai voluttuosi lamenti,
dei loro gemiti qui assaporano il piacere;
e sotto il denso fogliame è dolce dormire
lungo la riva di veloci torrenti.
