at uterque vatum si lyrae poeticae Latiare carmen aptet absque Doric, Venusina, Flacce, plectra ineptus exeras Iapygisque verna cygnus Aufidi Atacem tonare cum suis oloribus cana et canora colla victus ingemas.
But should either of these bards adapt to his poetic lyre a Latin song forsaking Greek, then, Flaccus, you would bring out your Venusine quill in a futile effort, and you a native swan of Calabrian Aufidus, with your aged tuneful neck now humbled in defeat, would lament that Atax with its swans can bring forth tones of thunder.
