Integer vitae scelerisque purus
non eget Mauris iaculis neque arcu
nec venenatis gravida sagittis,
Fusce, pharetra,

sive per Syrtis iter aestuosas
sive facturus per inhospitalem
Caucasum vel quae loca fabulosus
lambit Hydaspes.

Namque me silva lupus in Sabina,
dum meam canto Lalagen et ultra
terminum curis vagor expeditis,
fugit inermem;

quale portentum neque militaris
Daunias latis alit aesculetis
nec Iubae tellus generat, Ieonum
arida nutrix.

Pone me pigris ubi nulla campis
arbor aestiva recreatur aura,
quod latus mundi nebulae malusque
Iuppiter urget;

pone sub curru nimium propinqui
solis in terra domibus negata:
dulce ridentem Lalagen amabo,
dulce loquentem

Translation by Thomas Creech
(1659-1700)

A man unstained, and pure from sin,
No quiver fraught with poisoned heads,
No Afric javelin needs,
He has a guard and arms within;

Whether o’er Syrtes’ wandring sands,
Or brutish Caucasus he goes,
Or where Hydaspes flows
And swiftly cuts the savage lands.

Of late, when cares forsook my head,
I strayed and sang ith' Sabine grove
My Lalage, my love,
A wolf saw me unarmed, and fled;

A beast so large did never roar
Ith' Daunian woods, and fright the Swains,
Nor in her burning plains
The lion’s dry-nurse Afric bore.

So place me where no sun appears,
Or wrapped in clouds or drowned in tears;
Where woods with whirling tempests tossed:
Where no relieving summer’s breeze
Does murmur through the trees,
But all lies bound and fixed in frost.

Or place me where the scorching sun
With beams too near, doth burn the zone,
Yet fearless there I'll gladly rove,
Let frowning, or let smiling fate
Or curse, or bless my state
Sweet smiling Lalage I'll always love.
