“Donec gratus eram tibi
nec quisquam potior bracchia candidae
cervici iuvenis dabat,
Persarum vigui rege beatior.”

“donec non alia magis
arsisti neque erat Lydia post Chloen,
multi Lydia nominis,
Romana vigui clarior Ilia.”
“me nunc Thressa Chloe regit,
10
dulcis docta modos et citharae sciens,
pro qua non metuam mori,
si parcent animae fata superstiti”
“me torret face mutua
Thurini Calais filius Ornyti,
15
pro quo bis patiar mori,
si parcent puero fata superstiti.”
“quid si prisca redit Venus
diductosque iugo cogit aeneo?
si flava excutitur Chloe
20
reiectaeque patet ianua Lydiae?”
“quamquam sidere pulchrior
ille est, tu levior cortice et inprobo
iracundior Hadria:
tecum vivere amem, tecum obeam lubens.”
