Tum sciat, aerias Alpis et Norica si quis // castella in tumulis et Iapydis arva Timavi // nunc quoque post tanto videat desertaque regna // pastorum et longe saltus lateque vacantis.
Well would he trow it who, so long after, still // High Alps and Noric hill-forts should behold, // And Iapydian Timavus’ fields, // Ay, still behold the shepherds’ realms a waste, // And far and wide the lawns untenanted. ― translation from the same source
