XLV

Purpura sum terrae pulcro perfusa colore,
Saeptaque, ne violer, telis defendor acutis;
O felix, longo si possim vivere fato!

Peck:

Crimson of earth, a splendid colour dyed,
Take care! Behind a prickly hedge I hide,
O happy, could I longer here abide!

Ohl:

Earth's crimson am I, with beauteous blush suffused; hedged about, that I may not suffer injury, I am defended by sharp weapons. O happy, if it were my fate long to abide!
