Respondere tuis quidem vicissim
Cirrhaeis numeris velimus, at nos,
Curis implicitos negotiisque
Ut semper fugiunt senes puellae —
5
Sueto destituunt favore Musae,
Quae dant Aonios probe liquores
His, qui saepuis otio fruuntur.
Quod, Sabine, tibi tuisque doctis
Asseclis sine livida favemus
10
Nota quodque diu geras sub illo
Felici pariter tenore vitam,
Cum Phoebo fidibusque gratiosam
Optamus prope Nestoris senectam.
Nos hic continuo labore torquent
15
Imo in pectore cogitationes,
Quas res publica dat domusque nobis;
Unde rara quies sub hoc tumultu,
Quem fert turbo frequens negotiorum.
Et si forte datur subinde duri
20
Qualiscumque remissio laboris,
Non durat; redeunt brevi prementes
Angores animum molestiores.
Verum quando subit superna rebus
Terrenis meditatio relictis,
25
Mens curis vacat et caret labore.
Haec sed stare nequit diu voluptas,
Ni iuste fuerit Deus rogatus.
Qui quamvis malefacta semper odit,
Non odit tamen ille paenitentes,
30
Sed clemens pater hic graves remittit
Noxas, dans veniam reis reversis.
Hac spe vivimus et laboriosam
Vitam ducimus. Haec tibique nota
Ut sit, scribimus ad fluentis Allae
35
Ripas, qui quoque Bregelam subintrat,
Ad vos unde fit auctior profusus.
Hos ergo hendecasyllabos minutos
Boni consule, mi Sabine, quaeso,
Non tuis similes Catullianis,
40
Qui dulces redolent salem ac leporem,
Cum multa simul eruditione.
Tot annis valeas salubriterque,
Quot versus facis elegantiores,
Quam sunt, quos ego cudo, praepeditus
45
Curis continuis negotiisque,
Vel quot gratus ager refert aristas,
Cum iam Sirius igneus calescit.
Quodsi versiculi parum plecebunt,
Quos ex tempore mittimus, volanti

Namque intendimus, ad graves ituri
Tractandum patriae vocantis actus.

Vale.

AD EVNDEM

Parvum suscipe, Praesul, hunc libellum,
Quo te donat amans tui SABINVS.
Auro splendidus et niteret ostro,
Me blandis nisi mollibusque verbis
Festinanter et ocius rogasset,
Ut Dantisce tuus libellus esset.

Perlegi cupide tuum libellum ,
Leporis, salis, eruditionis
Plenum, quem toties videre avebam.
Ex hoc ingenii libens acumen
5
Amplexus, numeros iocosque dulces
Transcurri; neque Pegasum volantem,
Quem clarum tibi stemma iussit esse
Caesar, praeterii, nec hoc, amicis
Quidquid Pierides tuae dicarunt.
10
Dignas hinc tibi gratias referre
Deberem siquidem, sed est supellex,
Scis, quam curta mihi, sub hac palaestra
Iam pridem qui Heliconidas reliqui.
Ingratus tamen esse nolo totus:
15
Si Lucretia nostra non placebit,
Quam mitto, veniam dabis; placere
Quod possit tibi forte, deinde mittam.
At patrocinio tuo tuisque
Doctis hendecasyllabis, Sabine,
20
Indignus fuit ille sordidatus,
Pro quo tot precibus simul profusis
Exposcis veniam, licet sit usto
Dignus stigmate, contumax Iopas,
Qui tangens fidibus chelyn malignis
25
Infames voluit meos fideles
Cives reddere, dixerat fidem quos
Infregisse; docere quod nequibat.
Poenas ferre graves calumniator
Coram iudicio, quod ergo fugit,
30
Leges quas statuere, debuisset.
Quod porro quereris, gemis dolesque
Mortem coniugis optimique Bembi,
Tecum condolui, piis utrisque,
Orans, Manibus ut quies beata
35
Detur cum superis; et hanc utrisque
Nobis, quando vocabimur, petamus!
Nulli cedere nam solet propinquans
Cunctis terminus a Deo locatus.
