SERVI AFRICANI MORS.
J AM nece servilis rupturus vincula vitas
Ore vocat patrios Afer orante Deos.
" Vos, quibus est curae leto rediviva sub ipso
Rursum ad natales ducere membra plagas,
Accipite hanc animam ! jam pascua cara revlsam, 5
Ruraque laetitiae conscia saepe meae !
Gambias ubi dulces errans prope fluminis undas
Desertum luget Zelia fida torum.
Ibimus, et dominae fugiemus verbera dextrae,
Qua placido lenis sol beat arva die; 10
Et nemora umbrifera; recreans palmosa Leones
Irrigat aestivam roscidus imber humum.
Ο genitor, si liber adhuc natalia lustras
Litora, in amplexus me vehet aura tuos !
