Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJJKJ LMNM| What prays the poet of enshrined Apollo | A |
| What is he asking for with lifted hands | B |
| Pouring a fresh libation from his flagon | C |
| Not fertile crop from rich Sardinian lands | B |
| Not the fair herds of sultry damp Calabria | D |
| Not even Indian ivory and gold | E |
| Nor meadows that the Liris silent river | F |
| With sluggish flow has nibbled as it rolled | E |
| Let those whom Fortune has endowed with vineyards | G |
| With the Calenian knife their grapevines trim | H |
| Let the rich merchant from his golden goblet | I |
| Drink wine by Syrian traffic bought for him | H |
| Dear to the very gods he three times yearly | J |
| Yes four times travels the Atlantic Sea | J |
| Unharmed But I I feed myself on olives | K |
| Ay succory and soft mallows are for me | J |
| - | |
| Let one enjoy sound health and my possessions | L |
| Son of Latona grant to me I pray | M |
| With a sane mind an old age all unsullied | N |
| Nor let my gift my lyre be taken away | M |
