Original text:

Mucro mihi geminus ferro coniungitur uno.
Cum vento luctor, cum gurgite pugno profundo.
Scrutor aquas medias, ipsas quoque mordeo terras.

Translation:

My twin points are joined by one iron.
When I struggle with the wind, when I fight with the deep water,
I search amid the waters, and I bite the ground itself.
