Sin armenta magis studium vitulosque tueri, aut ovium fetum aut urentis culta capellas, saltus et saturi petito longinqua Tarenti, et qualem infelix amisit Mantua campum, pascentem niveos herboso flumine cycnos: non liquidi gregibus fontes, non gramina derunt, et quantum longis carpent armenta diebus, exigua tantum gelidus ros nocte reponet.
But if your business is rather the keeping of herds and calves, or breeding sheep, or goats that blight the plants, then haste to the glades and distant meads of rich Tarentum, or to such a plain as unhappy Mantua lost, giving food to snowy swans with its grassy stream. There the flocks will lack nor limpid springs nor herbage, and all that the herds will crop in the long days the chilly dew will restore in one short night.
