by Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus) (65 BCE - 8 BCE)
Translation by Lucjan Hipolit Siemieński (1807 - 1877)
Ad faunum
Language: Latin
Faune, Nympharum fugientum amator, per meos finis et aprica rura lenis incedas abeasque parvis aequus alumnis, si tener pleno cadit haedus anno larga nec desunt Veneris sodali vina creterrae, vetus ara multo fumat odore. ludit herboso pecus omne campo, cum tibi nonae redeunt Decembres; festus in pratis vacat otioso cum bove pagus; inter audacis lupus errat agnos, spargit agrestis tibi silva frondes, gaudet invisam pepulisse fossor ter pede terram.

Do Fauna
Language: Polish (Polski) after the Latin
Faunie, lubiący ścigać Nimfy płoche Błogosławieństwem obleć moje kopce, Drobnym przychowkiem opiekuj się trochę — A potem leć w strony obce. Przecież rok rocznie masz z kozła ofiary; Druhowi Cyprji stawiam z winem kruże, Sypię kadzidła — i ołtarzyk stary Wonnemi dymy okurzę. Po bujnej trawie hasa cała trzoda, A gdy w decembrze wrócą twoje nony — Ze wsi na błonie wyjdzie moc naroda, I byk, samopas puszczony. Jagnięta mężnie wilkom patrzą w oczy; Las na cześć twoją majem się zieleni; I rolnik trzykroć z radości poskoczy Że ziemia lepiej mu pleni.
