Rustici aratrum haeret
in profundo luto.
Mox prostratus,
rusticus Herculem implorat.
Statim, e caelo vocem audit!
"O rustice inepte,
flagella tu equos;
manus umerosque
rotis adhibe,
annitens totis viribus,
et deinde Herculem invoca!
Tunc enim
tibi propitius Hercules aderit."
Fabula docet:
Otiosa vota nihil prosunt;
iuva temet,
et ipse deus te adiuvabit.
