odes xxi

Dianam tenerae dicite virgines, 
intonsum, pueri, dicite Cynthium 
     Latonamque supremo 
     dilectam penitus Iovi; 

Tender girls speak of Diana, boys, speak of the long-haired Cynthian, and Latona, profoundly loved by supreme Jupiter 

vos laetam fluviis et nemorum coma,               5 
quaecumque aut gelido prominet Algido, 
     nigris aut Erymanthi 
     silvis aut viridis Gragi; 

You praise the one who rejoices in rivers [Diana] and the foliage of the woods, or that which stand out either on chilly Algidus or in the dark woods of Erymanthus or of green Gragus 

vos Tempe totidem tollite laudibus 
natalemque, mares, Delon Apollinis               10 
     insignemque pharetra 
     fraternaque umerum lyra. 

You men raise up with the same number of praises Tempe and Delos, the birthplace of Apollo, and his shoulder which is glorious with its quiver and for his brother's lyre 

Hic bellum lacrimosum, hic miseram famem 
pestemque a populo et principe Caesare in 
     Persas atque Britannos 
     vestra motus aget prece.               15 

He, moved by your prayer, will drive away tearful war and wretched hunger and plague from the people and under Caesar's leadership, [he will drive them] among the Persians and the Britons.
