PHILĒMŌN ET BAUCIS
Nārrābō dē duābus arboribus
dē tiliā et quercū
in Phrygiā
Ego ipse locum vīdī; nōn procul est stāgnum, terra ōlim plēna virōrum, nunc plēna piscium
Hūc Iūppiter vēnit et Mercurius caducifer cum patre suō quoque vēnit
Senex Philēmōn deōs in casā suā parvā sedēre iussit
Baucis cibum (carnem et rādīcem et ōva) parāvit
Testā mēnsa plāna facta est
Senēs deīs maiōrem partem cibī et vīnī dedērunt
Baucis et Philēmōn ānserem prehendere et necāre temptābant sacrificium deīs
Ānser autem fugitāvit ad deōs
Iūppiter oppidum malum in stāgnum et hominēs impiōs in piscēs trānsfōrmāvit
Casam autem duōrum piōrum in templum trānsfōrmāvit
Ōlim Philēmōn coniugem frondēre et Baucis Philōmēnon frondēre vīdit
Eōs in arborēs Iūppiter trānsfōrmāverat
