Contentus modico Bacchus solet esse racemo,
cum capiant alti vix cita musta lacus,
magnaque fecundis cum messibus area desit,
in Cereris crines una corona datur. tu quoque, dive minor, maiorum exempla secutus,
quamvis pauca damus, consule poma boni. Bacchus often is wont with a moderate bunch to be sated,
When the deep brim-full vats hardly the must shall contain;
So when the threshing-floors all fail for the plentiful harvest
Ceres' ringlets to crown only one garland we bring.
