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.

Uomo incorrotto e di delitti puro
Di mauri dardi uopo non ha nè d’arco
Nè di faretra grave d’attoscate
Saette, o Fusco,
Sia che per sirti ribollenti ei mova
O pel Caucaso inospite il viaggio
O per le plaghe là cui favoloso
Lambe l’Idaspe.
E però dentro a la sabina selva,
Mentre Lalage mia canto, e di cure
Libero vago oltre il confine, fugge
Me inerme un lupo:
Mostro il cui pari nè la marziale
Daunia alimenta ne’ suoi vasti ischieti,
Nè di Juba la terra, di leoni
Arida altrice.
Ponmi ne’ pigri campi ove nessuna
Arbor si allieti d’un alito estivo,
Del mondo in loco tal cui nebbia e Giove
Maligno opprima;
Ponmi in paese che, vicino troppo
Al solar carro, uopo non ha di tetti.
Io Lalage amerò che dolce ride,
Che dolce parla.
