  1. iam video Babylona rapi Parthumque coactum
  2. non ficta trepidare fuga, iam Bactra teneri
  3. legibus et famulis Gangen pallescere ripis
  4. gemmatosque humilem dispergere Persida cultus.
  5. ite per extremum Tanaim pigrosque Triones,
  6. ite per ardentem Libyam, superate vapores
  7. solis et arcanos Nili deprendite fontes,
  8. Herculeum finem, Bacchi transcurrite metas:
  9. vestri iuris erit, quidquid complectitur axis,
  10. vobis Rubra dabunt pretiosas aequora conchas,
  11. Indus ebur, ramos Panchaia, vellera Seres.
