| 3 | Quae damus exculti non multum carmina plectri, | Die Gedichte, die ich dir, nicht besonders ausgefeilt, mit der Laute darbringe, | |
| 4 | Accipe de nostra munera parva manu, | Nimm als bescheidene Geschenke aus meiner Hand entgegen, | |
| 5 | Quamvis Aetnaeo nullae mihi pumice rasae | wenn auch die Blätter, von denen ich keines mit Bimsstein aus dem Ätna geglättet habe, | Aetnaeo nullae mihi pumice rasae...Corycium chartae non oluere crocum

| 7 | Qualiscumque tamen nostri sit charta libelli, | Wie auch immer aber das Papier meines Büchleins beschaffen sein mag, | Aetnaeo nullae mihi pumice rasae
according to the poet, his poems did not undergo a sophisticated labor limae. The pumex is a magmatic stone, as suggested by the reference to the volcan Aetna in the expression Aetneo pumice.

|
| 9 | Non tamen exiguum munus contemne: Daturus | Verschmähe dennoch nicht mein kleines Geschenk: Ich hatte die Absicht, | |
| 10 | His maiora tibi (si licuisset) eram. | dir Größeres als dieses zu schenken, wenn es mir möglich gewesen wäre. | |
| 11 | Non tantum oceanum propellit gurgite Rhenus | Nicht nur der gehörnte Rhein mit seiner reißenden Strömung prallt auf den Ozean auf, | Rhenus...Ister
in ancient iconography, the Rhine is is depicted as a river God provided with horns. The Danube (Hister) in turn flows into the waters of the Black Sea (Scythicas aquas).

|
| 13 | In mare prorumpunt rivi. Cum victima defit, | auch die Bäche stürzen ins Meer. Wenn es an Opfertieren fehlt, | |
| 14 | Accipiunt sacri tura Sabaea foci. | nehmen die geweihten Brandaltäre auch sabäischen Weihrauch an. | tura Sabaea

| 15 | Sic Pylii longos vivas tibi Nestoris annos, | So mögest du so viele lange Jahre erleben wie der Pylier Nestor, | longos vivas tibi Nestoris annos...et Cumaeos Iliacosque dies
the poet wishes the emperor a long life: Nestor's long life and experience and Cuma's and Troy's long history represent the paradigm of longevity (cfr. Ov. Ex Pont. 2, 8, 41, Sic pater in Pylios, Cumaeos mater in annos / vivant). Nestor, the Pylian king, was already proverbially long-lived in the Homeric poems (cfr. e.g. Iliad, 1, 250-251) and is said to have lived for three generations (cfr. Hor. Carm., 2, 9, 13 ter aevo functus, Ov. Met., 12, 188, nunc tertia vivitur aetas). The same topic is developed by Cimbriaco in C. 20.
