Elegiac

Si cui quid cupido optantique obtigit unquam

insperanti, hoc est gratum animo proprie.

quare hoc est gratum nobis quoque, carius auro,

quod te restituis, Lesbia, mi cupido:

restituis cupido atque insperanti, ipsa refers te

nobis. o lucem candidiore nota!

quis me uno vivit felicior, aut magis hac res

optandas vita dicere quis poterit?
