    The power that form’d the hills and spread the plain
    And bade the rivers roll towards the main
    By the same fiat gave this clime to rise
    And bloom in splendour ‘neath the western skies
    Crown’d with his richest gifts this favour’d land
    And pour’d his bounties with unsparing hand
    Then beasts of prey here found a resting place
    And savage men delighted in the chase.
    No cultering hand improv’d the fertile soil
    But herbs and flowers in wild confusion lay
    And trees umbrageous veil’d the noontide ray.
||
    Vis quae colles figuravit planitiemque extendit
    et flumina ad pelagus provolvi iussit
    eodem iussu hoc clima fecit ut oriretur
    splendideque sub divo occidente floreret.
    Hanc terram donis copiosissimis ornavit prosperam
    maximaque cum largitate fruges profusius effundit. 
    Tum bestiae locum quiete aptum hic reperiebant,
    et indomiti venatione gaudebant homines.
    Nulla manus colens solum feracem corrigebat,
    sed herbae floresque inculti confuse iacebant,
    et umbraticae radios meridiei texebant arbores.
