Alfene immemor atque unanimis false sodalibus,
2
iam te nil miseret, dure, tui dulcis amiculi?
3
iam me prodere, iam non dubitas fallere, perfide?
4
nec facta impia fallacum hominum caelicolis placent;
5
quae tu neglegis, ac me miserum deseris in malis.
6
eheu, quid faciant, dic, homines, cuive habeant fidem?
7
certe tute iubebas animam tradere, inique, me
8
inducens in amorem, quasi tuta omnia mi forent.
9
idem nunc retrahis te ac tua dicta omnia factaque
10
ventos irrita ferre ac nebulas aerias sinis.
11
si tu oblitus es, at di meminerunt, meminit Fides,
12
quae te ut paeniteat postmodo facti faciet tui.
