Whether he knoweth Greek; or whether in Latin he speaketh;
Surely on this account he the more welcome will be。
Also perchance from the mouth of the Strait and the waters
Propontic;
Unto the steady South…wind; some one is spreading his sails。
Whosoever he is; the news he can faithfully tell me;
Which may become a part and an approach to the truth。
He; I pray; may he able to tell me the triumphs of Caesar;
Which he has heard of; and vows paid to the Latian Jove;
And that thy sorrowful head; Germania; thou; the rebellious;
Under the feet; at last; of the Great Captain hast laid。
Whoso shall tell me these things; that not to have seen will
afflict me;
Forthwith unto my house welcomed as guest shall he be。
Woe is me! Is the house of Ovid in Scythian lands now?
And doth punishment now give me its place for a home?
Grant; ye gods; that Caesar make this not my house and my
homestead;
But decree it to be only the inn of my pain。
