by Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus) (65 BCE - 8 BCE)
Translation by Charles-Marie-René Leconte de Lisle (1818 - 1894)
Vile potabis modicis Sabinum
Language: Latin
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.

À Mæcenas
Language: French (Français) after the Latin
Tu boiras un mauvais vin Sabin, par petites tasses. Je l’ai scellé moi-même dans une terre cuite Græque, alors qu’un tel applaudissement te fut donné au théâtre, Cher chevalier Maecenas, que les rives du fleuve paternel et le joyeux écho du mont Vaticanus redirent à la fois tes louanges. Tu bois le Cæcubium et la grappe domptée par le pressoir de Calénum ; mais les vignes de Falernum et des collines Formiennes n’attiédissent pas mes coupes.
