EPIGRAM

FONTANASALSA
Agro, sermones efflorescunt quasi flores;
   vina cibumque parat filia regis, era.
Latratus catuli, risus operis modulati;
   vati, vini fit magna ruina satis!

FONTANASALSA
On the farm, conversations bloom just like the flowers;
   the daughter of a king, the mistress of the house, prepares wine and food.
The barking of the little dog, the laughter of the work are rhythmic;
   for a poet, a great enough tumbling down of wine occurs!

VARIA

SATYRUS (Elegiac Couplet)
velatus satyrus remoratusque oceano tunc
   ex alto trahitur glaucus et aeger avus

The satyr, covered and delayed then by the sea,
   out of the deep the ancestor is dragged, blue-green and injured.

PHOEBE, FILIA (Dactylic Hexameter)
Auratis decoratur laeta puella capillis
The happy girl is adorned with golden hair
