Festus, Musoni suboles prolesque Avieni,

unde tui latices traxerunt, Caesia, nomen

Nortia, te veneror, lare cretus Vulsiniensi,

Romam habitans, gemino proconsulis auctus honore,

5carmina multa serens, vitam insons, integer aevum,

coniugio laetus Placidae numeroque frequenti

natorum exsultans. vivax sit spiritus ollis!

Cetera composita fatorum lege trahentur.

Ibis in optatas sedes: nam Iuppiter aethram

10pandit, Feste, tibi, candidus ut venias

iamque venis. tendit dextras chorus inde deorum

et toto tibi iam plauditur ecce polo.
