Book IV, Epigram 45 (Ker)

These offerings to thee for his son from flowing censer, O Phoebus, Palatine Parthenius gives with joy, that Burrus, who crowns his first five years with a new lustrum, may complete countless Olympiads. Make good a father's vows! So may thy laurel love thee, and thy sister rejoice in her assured virginity, so mayst thou shine in endless youth, so too may the locks of Bromius be not longer, Phoebus, than are thine!
