Integer vitae scelerisque purus non eget Mauris iaculis neque arcu nec venenatis gravida sagittis, Fusce, pharetra, sive per Syrtis iter aestuosas sive facturus per inhospitalem Caucasum vel quae loca fabulosus lambit Hydaspes. namque me silva lupus in Sabina, dum meam canto Lalagen et ultra terminum curis vagor expeditis, fugit inermem, quale portentum neque militaris Daunias latis alit aesculetis nec Iubae tellus generat, leonum arida nutrix. pone me pigris ubi nulla campis arbor aestiva recreatur aura, quod latus mundi nebulae malusque Iuppiter urget, pone sub curru nimium propinqui solis, in terra domibus negata: dulce ridentem Lalagen amabo, dulce loquentem.

Kto wolen zbrodni, kto wiódł czyste życie, Po maurytańskim co mu tam dzirycie; Łuk, kołczan, strzały z jadowitym grotem, Co mu tam potem! Taki przez Syrtów rozpalone piaski, Przez niegościnny przejdzie grzbiet kaukazki, I do bajecznych dotrze on rubieży Gdzie Hidasp bieży. Raz, o Laladze gdym składał wierszyki, Zabłąkałem się w sabiński bór dziki — Wtem wilk mi zaszedł — choć broni nie miałem, Uciekł on cwałem. I w niezbrodzonych apulskich dąbrowach Podobnej bestyi nie spotkasz na łowach, Ni w kraju Juby, co srogie lwy rodzi, Taki nie chodzi. Czy mnie zapędzisz kędy lodowate Słońce, nie stroi drzew w wiosenną szatę Kędy mgły wieczne, a Jowisz ponury Wciąż pada z góry. Czy w kraj bez domów, nagi, kędy z blizka Rydwan słoneczny na głowy żar ciska — Gdziekolwiek pójdę, z Lalagą mą wszędzie Dobrze mi będzie.
