    Sed siquem proles subito defecerit omnis,
    nec genus unde novae stirpis revocetur habebit,
    tempus et Arcadii memoranda inventa magistri
    pandere, quoque modo caesis iam saepe iuvencis
    285
    insincerus apes tulerit cruor. Altius omnem
    expediam prima repetens ab origine famam.
    Nam qua Pellaei gens fortunata Canopi+
    accolit effuso stagnantem flumine Nilum
    et circum pictis vehitur sua rura phaselis+,
    290
    quaque pharetratae vicinia Persidis urget,
    [et viridem+ Aegyptum+ nigra+ fecundat+ harena+,
    et diversa ruens septem discurrit in ora
    usque coloratis amnis devexus ab Indis]
    omnis in hac certam regio iacit arte salutem.
    295
    Exiguus primum atque ipsos contractus in usus
    eligitur locus; hunc angustique imbrice tecti
    parietibusque premunt artis et quattuor addunt,
    quattuor a ventis obliqua luce fenestras.
    Tum vitulus bima curvans iam cornua fronte
    300
    quaeritur; huic geminae nares et spiritus oris
    multa reluctanti obstruitur, plagisque perempto
    tunsa per integram solvuntur viscera pellem.
    Sic positum in clauso linquunt et ramea costis
    subiciunt fragmenta, thymum casiasque recentes.
    305
    Hoc geritur Zephyris primum impellentibus undas,
    ante novis rubeant quam prata coloribus, ante
    garrula quam tignis nidum suspendat hirundo.
    Interea teneris tepefactus in ossibus umor
    aestuat et visenda modis animalia miris,
    310
    trunca pedum primo, mox et stridentia pennis,
    miscentur tenuemque magis magis aera carpunt,
    donec, ut aestivis effusus nubibus imber,
    erupere aut ut nervo pulsante sagittae,
    prima leves ineunt si quando proelia Parthi.
