Caeruleas Ticinus aquas et stagna uadoso
perspicuus seruat turbari nescia fundo
ac nitidum uiridi lente trahit amne liquorem.
uix credas labi: ripis tam mitis opacis
argutos inter uolucrum certamine cantus
somniferam ducit lucenti gurgite lympham.

Primus sumpsisse laborem.

nauticus implebat resonantia litora clamor,
et simul adductis percussa ad pectora tonsis
centeno fractus spumabat verbere pontus.

Metui demens credebat honorem.
