Mosella, from the edition of Carolus Schenkl 'Opuscula Decimi Magni Ausonii' (Berlin, 1883)

Transieram celerem nebuloso flumine Navam
addita miratus veteri nova moenia Vingo,
aequavit Latias ubi quondam Gallia Cannas,
infletaeque iacent inopes super arva catervae.
unde iter ingrediens nemorosa per avia solum
et nulli humani spectans vestigia cultus
praetereo arentem sitientibus undique terris
Dumnissum riguasque perenni fonte Tabernas
arvaque Sauromatum nuper metata colonis,
et tandem primis Belgarum conspicor oris
Noiomagum, divi castra inclita Constantini.
purior hic campis aer Phoebusque sereno
lumine purpureum reserat iam sudus Olympum,
nec iam consertis per mutua vincula ramis
quaeritur exclusum viridi caligine caelum,
sed liquidum iubar et rutilam visentibus aethram
libera perspicui non invidet aura diei.
in speciem tum me patriae cultumque nitentis
Burdigalae blando pepulerunt omni visu:
culmina villarum pendentibus edita ripis
et virides baccho colles et amoena fluenta
