Fescenninum
Language: Latin
Age cuncta nuptiali
redimita vere tellus
celebra toros eriles;
omne nemus cum fluviis,
omne canat profundum.
Ligures favete campi,
Veneti favete montes,
subitisque se rosetis
vestiat Alpinus apex
et rubeant pruinae.
Athesis strepat choreis
calamisque flexuosus
leve Mincius susurret
et Padus electriferis
admoduletur alnis.
Aquiloniae procellae,
rabidi tacete Cori,
taceat sonorus Auster.
solus ovantem Zephyrus
perdominetur annum.
