Original text and translations

Latin text Integer vitae scelerisque purus non eget Mauris iaculis neque arcu nec venenatis gravida sagittis, Fusce, pharetra. Sive per Syrtis iter aestuosas Sive facturus per inhospitalem Caucasum vel quae loca fabulosus Lambit Hydaspes. Namque me silva lupus in Sabina, Dum meam canto Lalagen et ultra Terminum curis vagor expeditis, Fugit inermem,

Norwegian text Vingede Skarer fly de sorte Skove. Under dem farer Storm paa vildest Vove; over dem blinker Stjernen mildt, og vinker Toget til Palmernes Ly. Ak, om jeg kunde Følge Fuglens Baner, vilde jeg blunde dog blandt mørke Graner; hist i det Fjerne vinker ingen Stjerne saa sødt som Drømmene her. I mine Drømme gror der Liljer fagre, der ser jeg ømme Foraars-Alfer flagre; af mine Grave danne de en Have, vække mig smilende der.
