Original text and translations

Latin text

Si rore Aonio fluerent mea plectra, Valeri,
Niterer in laudes, illa movere tuas,
Utque alii heroum cecinere,
ducumque triumphos
Nostra tibi semper,
Musa dicata foret.

At desueta diu revocantem camina terrent,
Et tua me virtus et mea penuries
Vincor ego immensas cupiens tibi pangere laudes.
Teque meos laetos vincere posse modos.
