Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
O Sirmio, little eye of almost-islands and of islands, whatever in shining lakes or vast sea either Neptune brings, how gladly and how happily I go to see you scarcely myself believing myself that I have left behind Thynia and Bithynian fields and that I see you in safety. O what is happier than worries released, when the mind sets aside its burden, and we having been exhausted from foreign labor, have come to our home, and we rest in our longed for bed? This is what is the one thing in return for such great labors. Greetings, O beautiful Sirmio, and rejoice in [your] master rejoicing; and you, O Lydian wave of the lake, laugh whatever there is of laughter at home.	Paene insularum, Sirmio, Insularumque ocelle, quascumque in liquentibus stagnis marique vasto fert uterque Neptunus, quam te libenter quamque laetus inviso, vix mi ipse credens Thyniam atque Bithynos liquisse campos et videre te in tuto. O quid solutis est beatius curis, cum mens onus reponit, ac peregrino labore fessi venimus larem ad nostrum, desideratoque acquiescimus lecto? Hoc est quod unum est pro laboribus tantis. Salve, o venusta Sirmio, atque ero gaude gaudente; vosque, o Lydiae lacus undae, ridete quidquid est domi cachinnorum.	31.1 31.2 31.3 31.4 31.5 31.6 31.7 31.8 31.9 31.10 31.11 31.12 31.13 31.14
