Orta dies fuerit: tu desine credere ventis,
Perdidit illius temporis aura fidem.
Flamina non constant: et sex reserata diebus 455
Carceris aeolii janua laxa patet.
Jam levis obliqua subsedit Aquarius urna.
Proximus aetherios excipe, Piscis, equos.
Te memorant fratremque tuum—nam juncta micatis
Signa—duos tergo sustinuisse deos. 460
Terribilem quondam fugiens Typhona Dione,
Tunc quum pro coelo Jupiter arma tulit,
Venit ad Euphraten comitata Cupidine parvo,
Inque Palaestinae margine sedit aquae.
Populus et cannae riparum summa tenebant, 465
Spemque dabant salices, hos quoque posse tegi.
Dum latet, intonuit vento nemus. Illa timore
Pallet, et hostiles credit adesse manus;
Utque sinu natum tenuit, Succurrite Nymphae,
Et dîs auxilium ferte duobus, ait. 470
