non ego ture modo aut picta tua templa tabella
ornabo et puris serta feram manibus—
corniger hos aries humilis et maxima taurus
victima sacratos sparget honore focos,
marmoreusque tibi vel mille coloribus ales
in morem picta stabit Amor pharetra.
adsis, o Cytherea : tuus te Caesar Olympo
et Surrentini litoris ara vocat.

thee in worthy song: not with incense alone or with painted tablet will I adorn thy temple and with clean hands bring thee garlands, but the horned ram, a lowly offering, and the bull, noblest victim, with blood of sacrifice shall besprinkle the hallowed altars, and unto thee in marble, with his quiver painted, as is wont, in all its thousand hues, shall winged Love be set up. Come, O lady of Cythera! thine own Caesar and the altar of Sorrento's shore call thee from Olympus.

To that divine poet who was sweeter than the Syracusan bard,2 greater than Hesiod, and not inferior to Homer in his speech-to him also belong these first efforts, even his untutored Muse in varied strain.

1 An editorial epilogue, composed, according to Birt, by Varius.

2 Theocritus.
