Qui semper vacuam, semper amabilem
Sperat, nescius auræ fallacis.
He sees thee gentle, fair, and gay,
And trusts the faithless April of thy May.
As is the same author’s version of that passage, which is characterised by its beautiful simplicity.
somnus agrestium
Lenis virorum non humiles domos
Fastidit, umbrosamque ripam,
Non zephyris agitata Tempe.
Hor. 3, 1.
