at tu, nam divum servat tutela poetas, praemoneo, vati parce, puella, sacro, ut Messalinum celebrem, cum praemia belli ante suos currus oppida victa feret, ipse gerens laurus: lauro devinctus agresti miles io magna voce triumphe canet.
But do thou, damsel (for guardian gods watch over poets), be warned in time, and spare thy sacred bard, that I may tell of Messalinus when before his chariot he shall bear the conquered towns, the prize of war, wearing the bay wreath, while his soldiery, with wild bay round their brows, loudly chaunt the cry of triumph.
