Terra fui primo, latebris abscondita duris;
Nunc aliud pretium flammae nomenque dederunt,
Nec iam terra vocor, licet ex me terra paretur.

Peck:

Earth was I at first, 'twixt rugged boulders caught,
Now fire another name and price has taught,
And earth no more I'm called, yet with me earth is bought.

Ohl:

Earth was I first, in earth's recesses hidden; now fire has given me another price and name, and earth I am called no longer, though with me earth is bought.

Give up? Here's the answer.
