Vile potabis modicis Sabinum
cantharis, Graeca quod ego ipse testa
conditum levi, datus in theatro
cum tibi plausus,
care Maecenas eques, ut paterni
fluminis ripae simul et iocosa
redderet laudes tibi Vaticani
montis imago.
Caecubum et prelo domitam Caleno
tu bibes uvam: mea nec Falernae
temperant vites neque Formiani
pocula colles.

Sabin vinetto in mediocri tazze,
Mecena, insigne cavalier, berai;
Da greco orcio il cavai, dove fu posto,
Quando in teatro
Suonavan plausi a te, sì che alla ripa
Del patrio fiume e insieme al vaticano
Monte le lodi tue reiterava
Eco scherzosa.
Cecubo ed uva da caleno torchio
Berai domata: poi che a me non viti
Falerne, a me non formíani colli
Temprano i nappi.
