Incipit
Dati dalle informazioni generali inglesi.Modifica per tradurlo nella tua lingua.
Now I shall tell you of things that change, new being / Out of old: since you, O Gods, created / Mutable arts and gifts, give me the voice / To tell the shifting story of the world / From its beginning to the present hour.
Širdį man traukia giedot, kaip naujus pavidalus gavo Žemiški kūnai.
My purpose is to tell of bodies which have been transformed into shapes of a different kind. You heavenly powers, since you were responsible for those changes, as for all else, look favourably on my attempts, and spin an unbroken thread of verse, from the earliest beginnings of the world, down to my own times. [Mary M. Innes translation, Penguin Books, 1955]
My soul would sing of metamorphoses. (Tr. Allan Mandelbaum)
My mind would tell of forms changed into new bodies; gods, into my undertakings (for you changed even those) breathe life and from the first origin of the world to my own times draw forth a perpetual song! (Tr. Z Philip Ambrose)

Žemės kraštuos, kur tik sieks raminanti Romos galybė, žmonės mane skaitys, ir lūpose būsiu aš gyvas, jeigu teisybės yra kiek dainių spėjimuos, per amžius.

As long as Rome is the Eternal City / These lines shall echo from the lips of men, / As long as poetry speaks truth on earth, / That immortality is mine to wear.
Wherever Roman power extends over the lands Rome has subdued, people will read my verse. If there be any truth in poets' prophecies, I shall live to all eternity, immortalized by fame. [Mary M. Innes translation, Penguin Books, 1955]
May that day that has no power except over this body of mine complete when it will the span of my uncertain years: yet with my best part will I be borne eternally above the lofty star, and indelible will be our name; and where Roman culture reigns upon the conquered earth, upon the lips of people will I be read, and in glory through every age, if prophecies of bards have ought of truth, will I live. (Tr. Z. Philip Ambrose)
