VI

Glaeba mihi corpus, vires mihi praestitit ignis;
De terra nascor, sedes est semper in alto;
Rore ego perfundor, sed me cito deserit umor.

Peck:

The earth my body, strong through fire am I,
Though born of earth, my place is still on high,
And early drenched with dew, I soon am dry.

Ohl:

Earth gave me my body, fire my strength; of earth am I born; my home is always aloft; and the moisture that drenches me quickly deserts me.

Give up? Here's the answer.
