Baucis and
Philemon
8.611-724
Amnis ab his tacuit. factum mirabile cunctos

moverat: inridet credentes, utque deorum

spretor erat mentisque ferox, Ixione natus

'ficta refers nimiumque putas, Acheloe, potentes

esse deos,' dixit 'si dant adimuntque figuras.'        615

obstipuere omnes nec talia dicta probarunt,

ante omnesque Lelex animo maturus et aevo,

sic ait: 'inmensa est finemque potentia caeli

non habet, et quidquid superi voluere, peractum est,

quoque minus dubites, tiliae contermina quercus        620

collibus est Phrygiis medio circumdata muro;
ipse locum vidi; nam me Pelopeia Pittheus

misit in arva suo quondam regnata parenti.

haud procul hinc stagnum est, tellus habitabilis olim,

nunc celebres mergis fulicisque palustribus undae;       625

Iuppiter huc specie mortali cumque parente

venit Atlantiades positis caducifer alis.

tota domus duo sunt, idem parentque iubentque.

ergo ubi caelicolae parvos tetigere penates

summissoque humiles intrarunt vertice postes,

membra senex posito iussit relevare sedili;
mille domos adiere locum requiemque petentes,

mille domos clausere serae; tamen una recepit,

parva quidem stipulis et canna tecta palustri,    630

sed pia: Baucis anus parilique aetate Philemon

illa sunt annis iuncti iuvenalibus, illa

consenuere casa paupertatemque fatendo

effecere levem nec iniqua mente ferendo;

nec refert, dominos illic famulosne requiras:    635
cui superiniecit textum rude sedula Baucis       640

inque foco tepidum cinerem dimovit et ignes

suscitat hesternos foliisque et cortice sicco

nutrit et ad flammas anima producit anili

multifidasque faces ramaliaque arida tecto

detulit et minuit parvoque admovit aeno,         645

quodque suus coniunx riguo conlegerat horto,

truncat holus foliis; furca levat illa bicorni

sordida terga suis nigro pendentia tigno

servatoque diu resecat de tergore partem

exiguam sectamque domat ferventibus undis.             650
interea medias fallunt sermonibus horas

sentirique moram prohibent. erat alveus illic

fagineus, dura clavo suspensus ab ansa:

is tepidis inpletur aquis artusque fovendos

accipit. in medio torus est de mollibus ulvis       655

inpositus lecto sponda pedibusque salignis.

vestibus hunc velant, quas non nisi tempore festo

sternere consuerant, sed et haec vilisque vetusque

vestis erat, lecto non indignanda saligno.

adcubuere dei. mensam succincta tremensque                660

ponit anus, mensae sed erat pes tertius inpar:
testa parem fecit; quae postquam subdita clivum
sustulit, aequatam mentae tersere virentes.
ponitur hic bicolor sincerae baca Minervae
conditaque in liquida corna autumnalia faece       665
intibaque et radix et lactis massa coacti
ovaque non acri leviter versata favilla,
omnia fictilibus; post haec caelatus eodem
sistitur argento crater fabricataque fago
pocula, qua cava sunt, flaventibus inlita ceris.   670
parva mora est, epulasque foci misere calentes,

nec longae rursus referuntur vina senectae

dantque locum mensis paulum seducta secundis.

hic nux, hic mixta est rugosis carica palmis

prunaque et in patulis redolentia mala canistris   675

et de purpureis conlectae vitibus uvae;

candidus in medio favus est: super omnia vultus

accessere boni nec iners pauperque voluntas.
Interea totiens haustum cratera repleri

sponte sua per seque vident succrescere vina:     680

adtoniti novitate pavent manibusque supinis

concipiunt Baucisque preces timidusque Philemon

et veniam dapibus nullisque paratibus orant.

unicus anser erat, minimae custodia villae,

quem dis hospitibus domini mactare parabant;      685
ille celer penna tardos aetate fatigat

eluditque diu tandemque est visus ad ipsos

confugisse deos: superi vetuere necari

"di" que "sumus, meritasque luet vicinia poenas

inpia" dixerunt; "vobis inmunibus huius       690

esse mali dabitur. modo vestra relinquite tecta

ac nostros comitate gradus et in ardua montis

ite simul!" parent ambo baculisque levati

nituntur longo vestigia ponere clivo.
tantum aberant summo, quantum semel ire sagitta         695
missa potest: flexere oculos et mersa palude
cetera prospiciunt, tantum sua tecta manere.
dumque ea mirantur, dum deflent fata suorum,
illa vetus, dominis etiam casa parva duobus
vertitur in templum: furcas subiere columnae,     700
stramina flavescunt, adopertaque marmore tellus
caelataeque fores aurataque tecta videntur.
talia tum placido Saturnius edidit ore:
‘dicite, iuste senex et femina coniuge iusto

digna, quid optetis.’ cum Baucide pauca locutus   Indirect question

iudicium superis aperit commune Philemon:

‘esse sacerdotes delubraque vestra tueri

poscimus, et quoniam concordes egimus annos,
                                                   Jussive
auferat hora duos eadem, nec coniugis umquam       Subjunctive

busta meae videam, neu sim tumulandus ab illa.’

vota fides sequitur: templi tutela fuere,
donec vita data est; annis aevoque soluti

ante gradus sacros cum starent forte locique

narrarent casus, frondere Philemona Baucis,

Baucida conspexit senior frondere Philemon.        715

iamque super geminos crescente cacumine vultus

mutua, dum licuit, reddebant dicta "vale" que

"o coniunx" dixere simul, simul abdita texit

ora frutex: ostendit adhuc Thyneius illic

incola de gemino vicinos corpore truncos.        720
haec mihi non vani (neque erat, cur fallere vellent)

narravere senes; equidem pendentia vidi

serta super ramos ponensque recentia dixi

"cura deum di sint, et, qui coluere, colantur."'
