hunc ego Gaetulis agerem si Syrtibus exsul, Argolicove mari deprensus et urbe Mycenae, annua vota tamen sollemnisque ordine pompas exsequerer strueremque suis altaria donis.
Were I spending it in exile in the Gaetulian Syrtes, or caught on the Argolic sea or in Mycenaes town, yet would I perform the yearly vow with rites of solemn ordinance and pile the altars with due gifts.
