Vere rosa, autumno pomis, aestate frequentor
spicis; una mihi est horrida pestis hiemps.
Nam frigus metuo et vereor, ne ligneus ignem
hic deus ignavis praebeat agricolis.

2. Ego haec [sung text not yet checked]
Language: Latin
Ego haec, ego arte fabricata rustica, ego arida, o viator, ecce populus agellulum hunc, sinistra et ante quem vides, erique villulam hortulumque pauperis tuor malaque furis arceo manu. Mihi corolla picta vere ponitur, mihi rubens arista sole fervido, mihi virente dulcis uva pampino, mihi caduca oliva, cocta frigore. Meis capella delicata pascuis in urbem adulta lacte portat unbera, meisque pinguis agnus ex ovilibus gravem domum remittit aere dexteram, teneraque matre mugiente vaccula deum profundit ante templa sanguinem. Proin, viator, hunc deum vereberis manumque sursum habebis. Hoc tibi expedit, parata namque crux stat ecce mentula. "Velim pol" inquis? At pol ecce vilicus venit, valente cui revulsa bracchio fit ista mentula apta clava dexterae.
