Volusius' Annals, defiled sheets, fulfil a vow for my girl: for
she vowed to sacred Venus and to Cupid that if I were reunited to her, and I
desisted hurling savage iambics, she would give the choicest writings of the
worst poet to the slow-footed god to be burned with ill-omened wood. And the
wretched girl saw herself vow this to the gods in jest. Now, O Creation of the
pale blue sea, you who dwell in sacred Idalium and in storm-beaten Urium, and foster Ancona and reedy Amathus, Cnidos and
Golgos and Dyrrhachium, the tavern of
the Adriatic, accept and acknowledge this vow if it lacks neither grace nor
charm. But meantime, off with you to the flames, crammed with boorish speech and
vapid, Annals of Volusius, defiled sheets.
