Marcidus edomito bellum referebat ab Haemo Liber; ibi armiferos geminae iam sidera brumae orgia ferre Getas canumque virescere dorso Othryn et Icaria Rhodopen assueverat umbra, et iam pampineos materna ad moenia currus promovet; effrenae dextra laevaque sequuntur lynces, et uda mero lambunt retinacula tigres.

Languorous Liber was bringing back his warfare from the conquered Haemus. He had trained the martial Getae through the stars of two winters to carry his emblems, and cause hoary Othrys ridge and Rhodope to grow green with Icarian foliage. And now, he is bringing his vine-clad car to his mothers city. However, wild lynxes follow left and right, and tigers lick the wine-wet reins.
