Original text and translations

Latin text

Adriacos numero si qui comprehendere fluctus
Posse putat saevi cum tumet undamaris,
Ille tuas referat laudes et maxima facta
Queis modo Pannonius, obstupuitque Geta.

Nobis dum sacros templis adolebimus ignes,
Subdita Romano, dum pia regna patri,
Non indictus eris Medices quo vindice tuta
Vix timet iratos Itala terra deos.
