Fractus et exanimis stat Eques, neque conscius ipse An virgo ante oculos iret, an umbra silens ; Conatusque suæ circumdare brachia nymphæ est : Cætera non quisquam commemorâsse potest ! Sopitis tactus somnos excussit ocellis,

In laqueis quorum vincta puella jacet. Ergo Airæ valles implens clamore nemusque Emma cadens retrò gurgite fertur aquæ.

XVI.

Insilit in fluctus Heros nymphæque potitus
Impiger in ripas fluminis imposuit.
Illi servatæ radiis vaga lumina fulgent,
Et rediit sanguis purpureusque color :
Atque prius, virgo voces faciemque decoram
Militis agnoscit, quàm mala Parca vocet ;
Antè neque æternâ fati se condit in umbrâ
Quàm tangit fidum deficiente manu.

XVII.

Ergò viro non vita gravis! mihi cuncta referre
Carmine conciso cætera ritè manet.
Amissos secum meditans, ut constat, amores,
Vallibus his parvam condidit ipse casam;
Et deserta colens, et vili tectus amictu,
Ætatem ad rapidas fluminis egit aquas;
Atque Deum poscens veniam, curisque solutus,
Tempora transîbat continuis precibus.

XVIII.

Aira tene semper solitum, vaga Nympha, tenorem, Neve time versus concelebrata meos,

Quâ radii solis, fluviali rore madentes,
Omne nemus decorant lumine purpureo.
Lucibus et ventis communibus, Aira, manebis
Cara, etsi luctûs nuntia, " cara tamen !"-
Vox tua dulce sonat sub opacâ nocte, tuique
Perfruitur strepitu murmuris omnis amans;
Et sortita pium vatem cum flumine Garro

Nomen inoffensâ posteritate feres !
