At liquidī fontēs et stāgna virentia muscō

adsint et tenuis fugiēns per grāmina rīvus,

palmaque vestibulum aut ingēns oleaster inumbret,20

ut, cum prīma novī dūcent exāmina rēgēs

vēre suō lūdetque favīs ēmissa iuventūs,

vīcīna invītet dēcēdere rīpa calōrī

obviaque hospitiīs teneat frondentibus arbōs.

In medium, seu stābit iners seu prōfluet ūmor,25

trānsversās salicēs et grandia conice saxa,

pontibus ut crēbrīs possint cōnsistere et ālās

pandere ad aestīvum sōlem, sī forte morantēs

sparserit aut praeceps Neptūnō immerserit Eurus.

Haec circum casiae viridēs et olentia lātē30

serpylla et graviter spīrantis cōpia thymbrae

flōreat, inriguumque bibant violāria fontem.
