| Incense and flesh of swine and this year's grain | B |
| At the new moon with suppliant hands bestow | C |
| O rustic Phidyle So naught shall know | C |
| Thy crops of blight thy vine of Afric bane | B |
| And hale the nurslings of thy flock remain | B |
| Through the sick apple tide Fit victims grow | C |
| 'Twixt holm and oak upon the Algid snow | C |
| Or Alban grass that with their necks must stain | B |
| The Pontiff's axe to thee can scarce avail | D |
| Thy modest gods with much slain to assail | D |
| Whom myrtle crowns and rosemary can please | E |
| Lay on the altar a hand pure of fault | F |
| More than rich gifts the Powers it shall appease | E |
| Though pious but with meal and crackling salt | F |
