"You should lie in the garden."

"Vergas" is the second person singular active subjunctive of "vergo" (to lie, incline), and "horto" is the dative/ablative of "hortus" (garden) and is likely an ablative of place where. The ablative of place where, instead of using the preposition "in" makes this simple phrase poetic, which was common in Latin prose after Vergilius' death, and stayed popular, in part thanks to grammarians like Donatus.
