  1. tempestiva quies, maior post otia virtus!
  2. talis cantata Briseide venit Achilles
  3. acrior et positis erupit in Hectora plectris.
  4. te quoque flammabit tacite repetita parumper
  5. desidia et solitos [*]() novus exultabis in actus,
  6. certe iam Latiae non miscent iurgia leges,
    7. [*](Anienaque s: amenaque M. )[*](solitos s: solidos M and Vollmer. the dog, named Maera, belonged to Icarus, son of Oebalus, king of Sparta, and was made a star after its death. )
  7. et pacem piger annus habet messesque reversae
  8. dimisere forum, nec iam tibi turba reorum
  9. vestibulo querulique rogant exire clientes;
  10. cessat centeni moderatrix iudicis hasta,

  16. fert animus quascumque vices: nos otia vitae
  17. solamur cantu ventosaque gaudia famae
  18. quaerimus, en egomet somnum et geniale secutus
  19. litus, ubi Ausonio se condidit hospita portu
  20. Parthenope, tenues ignavo pollice chordas
