| Let us turn hitherward our bark they cried | B |
| And 'mid the blisses of this happy isle | C |
| Past toil forgetting and to come abide | B |
| In joyfulness awhile | C |
| - | |
| And then refreshed our tasks resume again | D |
| If other tasks we yet are bound unto | E |
| Combing the hoary tresses of the main | F |
| With sharp swift keel anew | E |
| - | |
| O heroes that had once a nobler aim | G |
| O heroes sprung from many a godlike line | H |
| What will ye do unmindful of your fame | G |
| And of your race divine | H |
| - | |
| But they by these prevailing voices now | I |
| Lured evermore draw nearer to the land | J |
| Nor saw the wrecks of many a goodly prow | I |
| That strewed that fatal strand | J |
| - | |
| Or seeing feared not warning taking none | K |
| From the plain doom of all who went before | L |
| Whose bones lay bleaching in the wind and sun | K |
| And whitened all the shore | L |

| QUIN HUC FREMEBANT | J |

| Quin hue fremebant dirigimus ratem | G |
| Hic dote laeti divitis insulae | C |
| Paullisper haeremus futuri | L |
| Nec memores operis nec acti | J |
| - | |
| Curas refecti cras iterabimus | M |
| Si qua supersunt emeritis novae | N |
| Pexisse pernices acuta | J |
| Canitiem pelagi carina | K |
| - | |
| O rebus olim nobilioribus | M |
| Pares origo Di quibus ac Deae | J |
| Heroes oblitine famiae | G |
| Haec struitis generisque summi | G |
| - | |
| Atqui propinquant jam magis ac magis | M |
| Ducti magistra voce solum neque | O |
| Videre prorarum nefandas | M |
| Fragmina nobilium per oras | M |
| - | |
| Vidisse seu non poenitet ominis | M |
| Incuriosos tot praeeuntium | G |
| Quorum ossa sol siccantque venti | J |
| Candet adhuc quibus omnis ora | L |
