amicis |

Veranius, preferred by
me to three hundred thousand |
| antistans mihi milibus
trecentis, |
2 |
Out of all the number
of my friends, |
| uenistine domum ad tuos
penates |
3 |
have you then come to
your own hearth |
| fratresque unanimos anumque
matrem? |
4 |
and your affectionate
brothers and aged mother? |
| uenisti. o mihi nuntii
beati! |
5 |
You have indeed. O joyful
new to me ! |
| uisam te incolumem audiamque
Hiberum |
6 |
I shall look upon you
safe returned, and hear you |
| narrantem loca, facta
nationes, |
7 |
telling of the country,
the history, the various tribes of the Hiberians, |
| ut mos est tuus, applicansque
collum |
8 |
as is your way, and drawing
your neck nearer to me |
| iucundum os oculosque
suauiabor. |
9 |
I shall kiss your beloved
mouth and eyes. |
| o quantum est hominum
beatiorum, |
10 |
O, of all men blest than
other, |
| quid me laetius est beatiusue? |
11 |
who is more glad, more
blest than I? |
