qui Tyria ducis Sarranum ab origine nomen, seu Laurens tibi, Sigeo sulcata colono, arridet tellus, seu sunt Byzacia cordi rura magis, centum Cereri fruticantia culmis, electos optare dabo inter praemia campos.
To you I speak who trace your origin back to ancient Tyre and Sidon: whether the acres of Laurentum, ploughed by Roman husbandmen, are your choice, or whether you prefer the fields of Byzacium,c where a hundred blades of corn spring from one seed'I shall allow you to choose the land you like best, as part of your reward.
