+
+  LIBER PRIMVS
+
+  CYNTHIA MONOBIBLOS
+
+
+  I
+
+  CYNTHIA prima suis miserum me cepit ocellis,
+      contactum nullis ante cupidinibus.
+  tum mihi constantis deiecit lumina fastus
+      et caput impositis pressit Amor pedibus,
+  donec me docuit castas odisse puellas
+      improbus, et nullo uiuere consilio.
+  et mihi iam toto furor hic non deficit anno,
+      cum tamen aduersos cogor habere deos.
+  Milanion nullos fugiendo, Tulle, labores
+      saeuitiam durae contudit Iasidos.
+  nam modo Partheniis amens errabat in antris,
+      ibat et hirsutas ille uidere feras;
+  ille etiam Hylaei percussus uulnere rami
+      saucius Arcadiis rupibus ingemuit.
+  ergo uelocem potuit domuisse puellam:
+      tantum in amore preces et benefacta ualent.
+  in me tardus Amor non ullas cogitat artis,
+      nec meminit notas, ut prius, ire uias.
+  at uos, deductae quibus est fallacia lunae
+      et labor in magicis sacra piare focis,
+  en agedum dominae mentem conuertite nostrae,
+      et facite illa meo palleat ore magis!
+  tunc ego crediderim uobis et sidera et amnis
+      posse Cytaeines ducere carminibus.
+  et uos, qui sero lapsum reuocatis, amici,
+      quaerite non sani pectoris auxilia.
+  fortiter et ferrum saeuos patiemur et ignis,
+      sit modo libertas quae uelit ira loqui.
+  ferte per extremas gentis et ferte per undas,
+      qua non ulla meum femina norit iter:
+  uos remanete, quibus facili deus annuit aure,
+      sitis et in tuto semper amore pares.
+  in me nostra Venus noctes exercet amaras,
+      et nullo uacuus tempore defit Amor.
+  hoc, moneo, uitate malum:  sua quemque moretur
+      cura, neque assueto mutet amore locum.
+  quod si quis monitis tardas aduerterit auris,
+      heu referet quanto uerba dolore mea!
+
+
+
+  II
+
+  QVID iuuat ornato procedere, uita, capillo
+      et tenuis Coa ueste mouere sinus?
+  aut quid Orontea crinis perfundere murra,.
+      teque peregrinis uendere muneribus;
+  naturae decus mercato perdere cultu,
+      nec sinere in propriis membra nitere bonis?
+  crede mihi, non ulla tua est medicina figurae:
+      nudus Amor formae non amat artificem.
+  aspice quos summittat humus formosa colores;
+      ut ueniant hederae sponte sua melius,
+  surgat et in solis formosius arbutus antris,
+      et sciat indocilis currere lympha uias.
+  litora natiuis persuadent picta lapillis,
+      et uolucres nulla dulcius arte canunt.
+  non sic Leucippis succendit Castora Phoebe,
+      Pollucem cultu non Hilaira soror;
+  non, Idae et cupido quondam discordia Phoebo,
+      Eueni patriis filia litoribus;
+  nec Phrygium falso traxit candore maritum
+      auecta externis Hippodamia rotis:
+  sed facies aderat nullis obnoxia gemmis,
+      qualis Apelleis est color in tabulis.
+  non illis studium uulgo conquirere amantis:
+      illis ampla satis forma pudicitia.
+  non ego nunc uereor ne sim tibi uilior istis:
+      uni si qua placet, culta puella sat est;
+  cum tibi praesertim Phoebus sua carmina donet
+      Aoniam libens Calliopea lyram,
+  unica nec desit iucundis gratia uerbis,
+      omnia quaeque Venus, quaeque Minerua probat.
+  his tu semper eris nostrae gratissima uitae,
+      taedia dum miserae sint tibi luxuriae.
+
+
+
+  III
+
+  QVALIS Thesea iacuit cedente carina
+      languida desertis Gnosia litoribus;
+  qualis et accubuit primo Cepheia somno
+      libera iam duris cotibus Andromede;
+  nec minus assiduis Edonis fessa choreis
+      qualis in herboso concidit Apidano:
+  talis uisa mihi mollem spirare quietem
+      Cynthia non certis nixa caput manibus,
+  ebria cum multo traherem uestigia Baccho,
+      et quaterent sera nocte facem pueri.
+  hanc ego, nondum etiam sensus deperditus omnis,
+      molliter impresso conor adire toro;
+  et quamuis duplici correptum ardore iuberent
+      hac Amor hac Liber, durus uterque deus,
+  subiecto leuiter positam temptare lacerto
+      osculaque admota sumere et arma manu,
+  non tamen ausus eram dominae turbare quietem,
+      expertae metuens iurgia saeuitiae;
+  sed sic intentis haerebam fixus ocellis,
+      Argus ut ignotis cornibus Inachidos.
+  et modo soluebam nostra de fronte corollas
+      ponebam tuis, Cynthia, temporibus;
+  et modo gaudebam lapsos formare capillos;
+      nunc furtiua cauis poma dabam manibus;
+  omniaque ingrato largibar munera somno,
+      munera de prono saepe uoluta sinu;
+  et quotiens raro duxit suspiria motu,
+      obstupui uano credulus auspicio,
+  ne qua tibi insolitos portarent uisa timores,
+      neue quis inuitam cogeret esse suam:
+  donec diuersas praecurrens luna fenestras,
+      luna moraturis sedula luminibus,
+  compositos leuibus radiis patefecit ocellos.
+      sic ait in molli fixa toro cubitum:
+  'tandem te nostro referens iniuria lecto
+      alterius clausis expulit e foribus?
+  namque ubi longa meae consumpsti tempora noctis
+      languidus exactis, ei mihi, sideribus?
+  o utinam talis perducas, improbe, noctes,
+      me miseram qualis semper habere iubes!
+  nam modo purpureo fallebam stamine somnum,
+      rursus et Orpheae carmine, fessa, lyrae;
+  interdum leuiter mecum deserta querebar
+      externo longas saepe in amore moras:
+  dum me iucundis lapsam sopor impulit alis.
+      illa fuit lacrimis ultima cura meis.'
+
+
+
+  IV
+
+  QVID mihi tam multas laudando, Basse, puellas
+      mutatum domina cogis abire mea?
+  quid me non pateris uitae quodcumque sequetur
+      hoc magis assueto ducere seruitio?
+  tu licet Antiopae formam Nycteidos, et tu
+      Spartanae referas laudibus Hermionae,
+  et quascumque tulit formosi temporis aetas;
+      Cynthia non illas nomen habere sinat:
+  nedum, si leuibus fuerit collata figuris,
+      inferior duro iudice turpis eat.
+  haec sed forma mei pars est extrema furoris;
+      sunt maiora, quibus, Basse, perire iuuat:
+  ingenuus color et multis decus artibus, et quae
+      gaudia sub tacita dicere ueste libet.
+  quo magis et nostros contendis soluere amores,
+      hoc magis accepta fallit uterque fide.
+  non impune feres:  sciet haec insana puella
+      et tibi non tacitis uocibus hostis erit;
+  nec tibi me post haec committet Cynthia nec te
+      quaeret; erit tanti criminis illa memor,
+  et te circum omnis alias irata puellas
+      differet:  heu nullo limine carus eris.
+  nullas illa suis contemnet fletibus aras,
+      et quicumque sacer, qualis ubique, lapis.
+  non ullo grauius temptatur Cynthia damno,
+      quam sibi cum rapto cessat amore deus:
+  praecipue nostri.  maneat sic semper, adoro,
+      nec quicquam ex illa quod querar inueniam!
+
+
+
+  V
+
+  INVIDE, tu tandem uoces compesce molestas
+      et sine nos cursu, quo sumus, ire pares!
+  quid tibi uis, insane?  meos sentire furores?
+      infelix, properas ultima nosse mala,
+  et miser ignotos uestigia ferre per ignis,
+      et bibere e tota toxica Thessalia.
+  non est illa uagis similis collata puellis:
+      molliter irasci non solet illa tibi.
+  quod si forte tuis non est contraria uotis,
+      at tibi curarum milia quanta dabit!
+  non tibi iam somnos, non illa relinquet ocellos:
+      illa feros animis alligat una uiros.
+  a, mea contemptus quotiens ad limina curres,
+      cum tibi singultu fortia uerba cadent,
+  et tremulus maestis orietur fletibus horror,
+      et timor informem ducet in ore notam,
+  et quaecumque uoles fugient tibi uerba querenti,
+      nec poteris, qui sis aut ubi, nosse miser!
+  tum graue seruitium nostrae cogere puellae
+      discere et exclusum quid sit abire domum;
+  nec iam pallorem totiens mirabere nostrum,
+      aut cur sim toto corpore nullus ego.
+  nec tibi nobilitas poterit succurrere amanti:
+      nescit Amor priscis cedere imaginibus.
+  quod si parua tuae dederis uestigia culpae,
+      quam cito de tanto nomine rumor eris!
+  non ego tum potero solacia ferre roganti,
+      cum mihi nulla mei sit medicina mali;
+  sed pariter miseri socio cogemur amore
+      alter in alterius mutua flere sinu.
+  quare, quid possit mea Cynthia, desine, Galle,
+      quaerere:  non impune illa rogata uenit.
+
+
+
+  VI
+
+  NON ego nunc Hadriae uereor mare noscere tecum
+      Tulle, neque Aegaeo ducere uela salo,
+  cum quo Rhipaeos possim conscendere montis
+      ulterius domos uadere Memnonias;
+  sed me complexae remorantur uerba puellae,
+      mutatoque graues saepe colore preces.
+  illa mihi totis argutat noctibus ignis,
+      et queritur nullos esse relicta deos;
+  illa meam mihi iam se denegat, illa minatur,
+      quae solet irato tristis amica uiro.
+  his ego non horam possum durare querelis:
+      a pereat, si quis lentus amare potest!
+  an mihi sit tanti doctas cognoscere Athenas
+      atque Asiae ueteres cernere diuitias,
+  ut mihi deducta faciat conuicia puppi
+      Cynthia et insanis ora notet manibus,
+  osculaque opposito dicat sibi debita uento,
+      et nihil infido durius esse uiro?
+  tu patrui meritas conare anteire securis,
+      et uetera oblitis iura refer sociis.
+  nam tua non aetas umquam cessauit amori,
+      semper et armatae cura fuit patriae;
+  et tibi non umquam nostros puer iste labores
+      afferat et lacrimis omnia nota meis!
+  me sine, quem semper uoluit fortuna iacere,
+      hanc animam extremae reddere nequitiae.
+  multi longinquo periere in amore libenter,
+      in quorum numero me quoque terra tegat.
+  non ego sum laudi, non natus idoneus armis:
+      hanc me militiam fata subire uolunt.
+  at tu seu mollis qua tendit Ionia, seu qua
+      Lydia Pactoli tingit arata liquor;
+  seu pedibus terras seu pontum carpere remis
+      ibis, et accepti pars eris imperii:
+  tum tibi si qua mei ueniet non immemor hora,
+      uiuere me duro sidere certus eris.
+
+
+
+  VII
+
+  DVM tibi Cadmeae dicuntur, Pontice, Thebae
+      armaque fraternae tristia militiae,
+  atque, ita sim felix, primo contendis Homero,
+      (sint modo fata tuis mollia carminibus:)
+  nos, ut consuemus, nostros agitamus amores,
+      atque aliquid duram quaerimus in dominam;
+  nec tantum ingenio quantum seruire dolori
+      cogor et aetatis tempora dura queri.
+  hic mihi conteritur uitae modus, haec mea fama est,
+      hinc cupio nomen carminis ire mei.
+  me laudent doctae solum placuisse puellae,
+      Pontice, et iniustas saepe tulisse minas;
+  me legat assidue post haec neglectus amator,
+      et prosint illi cognita nostra mala.
+  te quoque si certo puer hic concusserit arcu,
+      (quod nolim:  nostros te uiolasse deos!)
+  longe castra tibi, longe miser agmina septem
+      flebis in aeterno surda iacere situ;
+  et frustra cupies mollem componere uersum,
+      nec tibi subiciet carmina serus Amor.
+  tum me non humilem mirabere saepe poetam,
+      tunc ego Romanis praeferar ingeniis;
+  nec poterunt iuuenes nostro reticere sepulcro
+      'Ardoris nostri magne poeta, iaces.'
+  tu caue nostra tuo contemnas carmina fastu:
+      saepe uenit magno faenore tardus Amor.
+
+
+
+  VIII
+
+  TVNE igitur demens, nec te mea cura moratur?
+      an tibi sum gelida uilior Illyria?
+  et tibi iam tanti, quicumque est, iste uidetur,
+      ut sine me uento quolibet ire uelis?
+  tune audire potes uesani murmura ponti
+      fortis, et in dura naue iacere potes?
+  tu pedibus teneris positas fulcire pruinas,
+      tu potes insolitas, Cynthia, ferre niues?
+  o utinam hibernae duplicentur tempora brumae,
+      et sit iners tardis nauita Vergiliis,
+  nec tibi Tyrrhena soluatur funis harena,
+      neue inimica meas eleuet aura preces!
+  atque ego non uideam talis subsidere uentos,
+      cum tibi prouectas auferet unda ratis,
+  ut me defixum uacua patiatur in ora
+      crudelem infesta saepe uocare manu!
+  Sed quocumque modo de me, periura, mereris,
+      sit Galatea tuae non aliena uiae:
+  ut te, felici praeuecta Ceraunia remo,
+      accipiat placidis Oricos aequoribus.
+  nam me non ullae poterunt corrumpere, de te
+      quin ego, uita, tuo limine uerba querar;
+  nec me deficiet nautas rogitare citatos
+      'Dicite, quo portu clausa puella mea est?
+  et dicam 'Licet Atraciis considat in oris,
+      et licet Hylleis, illa futura mea est.'
+  hic erat! hic iurata manet! rumpantur iniqui!
+      uicimus:  assiduas non tulit illa preces.
+  falsa licet cupidus deponat gaudia liuor:
+      destitit ire nouas Cynthia nostra uias.
+  illi carus ego et per me carissima Roma
+      dicitur, et sine me dulcia regna negat.
+  illa uel angusto mecum requiescere lecto
+      et quocumque modo maluit esse mea,
+  quam sibi dotatae regnum uetus Hippodamiae,
+      et quas Elis opes ante pararat equis.
+  quamuis magna daret, quamuis maiora daturus,
+      non tamen illa meos fugit auara sinus.
+  hanc ego non auro, non Indis flectere conchis,
+      sed potui blandi carminis obsequio.
+  sunt igitur Musae, neque amanti tardus Apollo,
+      quis ego fretus amo:  Cynthia rara mea est!
+  nunc mihi summa licet contingere sidera plantis:
+      siue dies seu nox uenerit, illa mea est!
+  nec mihi riualis certos subducit amores:
+      ista meam norit gloria canitiem.
+
+
+
+  IX
+
+  DICEBAM tibi uenturos, irrisor, amores,
+      nec tibi perpetuo libera uerba fore:
+  ecce iaces supplexque uenis ad iura puellae,
+      et tibi nunc quaeuis imperat empta modo.
+  non me Chaoniae uincant in amore columbae
+      dicere, quos iuuenes quaeque puella domet.
+  me dolor et lacrimae merito fecere peritum:
+      atque utinam posito dicar amore rudis!
+  quid tibi nunc misero prodest graue dicere carmen
+      aut Amphioniae moenia flere lyrae?
+  plus in amore ualet Mimnermi uersus Homero:
+      carmina mansuetus lenia quaerit Amor.
+  i quaeso et tristis istos compone libellos,
+      et cane quod quaeuis nosse puella uelit!
+  quid si non esset facilis tibi copia?  nunc tu
+      insanus medio flumine quaeris aquam.
+  necdum etiam palles, uero nec tangeris igni:
+      haec est uenturi prima fauilla mali.
+  tum magis Armenias cupies accedere tigris
+      et magis infernae uincula nosse rotae,
+  quam pueri totiens arcum sentire medullis
+      et nihil iratae posse negare tuae.
+  nullus Amor cuiquam facilis ita praebuit alas,
+      ut non alterna presserit ille manu.
+  nec te decipiat, quod sit satis illa parata:
+      acrius illa subit, Pontice, si qua tua est,
+  quippe ubi non liceat uacuos seducere ocellos
+      nec uigilare alio nomine cedat Amor.
+  qui non ante patet, donec manus attigit ossa.
+      quisquis es, assiduas a fuge blanditias!
+  illis et silices et possint cedere quercus,
+      nedum tu possis, spiritus iste leuis.
+  quare, si pudor est, quam primum errata fatere:
+      dicere quo pereas saepe in amore leuat.
+
+
+
+  X
+
+  O IVCVNDA quies, primo cum testis amori
+      affueram uestris conscius in lacrimis!
+  o noctem meminisse mihi iucunda uoluptas,
+      o quotiens uotis illa uocanda meis.
+  cum te complexa morientem, Galle, puella
+      uidimus et longa ducere uerba mora!
+  quamuis labentis premeret mihi somnus ocellos
+      et mediis caelo Luna ruberet equis,
+  non tamen a uestro potui secedere lusu.
+      tantus in alternis uocibus ardor erat.
+  sed quoniam non es ueritus concedere nobis,
+      accipe commissae munera laetitiae:
+  non solum uestros didici reticere dolores,
+      est quiddam in nobis maius, amice, fide.
+  possum ego diuersos iterum coniungere amantis.
+      et dominae tardas possum aperire fores;
+  et possum alterius curas sanare recentis,
+      nec leuis in uerbis est medicina meis.
+  Cynthia me docuit semper quaecumque petenda
+      quaeque cauenda forent:  non nihil egit Amor.
+  tu caue ne tristi cupias pugnare puellae,
+      neue superba loqui, neue tacere diu;
+  neu, si quid petiit, ingrata fronte negaris.
+      neu tibi pro uano uerba benigna cadant.
+  irritata uellit, quando contemnitur illa,
+      nec meminit iustas ponere laesa minas:
+  at quo sis humilis magis et subiectus amori,
+      hoc magis effecto saepe fruare bono.
+  is poterit felix una remanere puella,
+      qui numquam uacuo pectore liber erit.
+
+
+
+  XI
+
+  ECQVID te mediis cessantem, Cynthia, Bais,
+      qua iacet Herculeis semita litoribus,
+  et modo Thesproti mirantem subdita regno
+      proxima Misenis aequora nobilibus,
+  nostri cura subit memores a! ducere noctes?
+      ecquis in extremo restat amore locus?
+  an te nescio quis simulatis ignibus hostis
+      sustulit e nostris, Cynthia, carminibus?
+  atque utinam mage te, remis confisa minutis,
+      paruula Lucrina cumba moretur aqua,
+  aut teneat clausam tenui Teuthrantis in unda
+      alternae facilis cedere lympha manu,
+  quam uacet alterius blandos audire susurros
+      molliter in tacito litore compositam!Q
+  ut solet amota labi custode puella
+      perfida, communis nec meminisse deos:
+  non quia perspecta non es mihi cognita fama,
+      sed quod in hac omnis parte timetur amor.
+  ignosces igitur, si quid tibi triste libelli
+      attulerint nostri:  culpa timoris erit.
+  'an mihi non maior carae custodia matris?'
+      aut sine te uitae cura sit ulla meae?
+  tu mihi sola domus, tu, Cynthia, sola parentes,
+      omnia tu nostrae tempora laetitiae.
+  seu tristis ueniam seu contra laetus amicis,
+      quicquid ero, dicam' Cynthia causa fuit.
+  tu modo quam primum corruptas desere Baias:
+      multis ista dabunt litora discidium,
+  litora quae fuerant castis inimica puellis:
+      a pereant Baiae, crimen amoris, aquae!
+
+
+
+  XII
+
+  QVID mihi desidiae non cessas fingere crimen,
+      quod faciat nobis conscia Roma moram?
+  tam multa illa meo diuisa est milia lecto,
+      quantum Hypanis Veneto dissidet Eridano;
+  nec mihi consuetos amplexu nutrit amores
+      Cynthia, nec nostra dulcis in aure sonat.
+  olim gratus eram:  non illo tempore cuiquam
+      contigit ut simili posset amare fide.
+  inuidiae fuimus:  non me deus obruit?  an quae
+      lecta Prometheis diuidit herba iugis?
+  non sum ego qui fueram:  mutat uia longa puellas.
+      quantus in exiguo tempore fugit amor!
+  nunc primum longas solus cognoscere noctes
+      cogor et ipse meis auribus esse grauis.
+  felix, qui potuit praesenti flere puellae;
+      non nihil aspersis gaudet Amor lacrimis:
+  aut si despectus potuit mutare calores,
+      sunt quoque translato gaudia seruitio.
+  mi neque amare aliam neque ab hac desistere fas est:
+      Cynthia prima fuit, Cynthia finis erit.
+
+
+
+  XIII
+
+  TV, quod saepe soles, nostro laetabere casu,
+      Galle, quod abrepto solus amore uacem.
+  at non ipse tuas imitabor, perfide, uoces:
+      fallere te numquam, Galle, puella uelit.
+  dum tibi deceptis augetur fama puellis,
+      certus et in nullo quaeris amore moram,
+  perditus in quadam tardis pallescere curis
+      incipis, et primo lapsus abire gradu.
+  haec erit illarum contempti poena doloris:
+      multarum miseras exiget una uices.
+  haec tibi uulgaris istos compescet amores,
+      nec noua quaerendo semper amicus eris.
+  haec ego non rumore malo, non augure doctus;
+      uidi ego:  me quaeso teste negare potes?
+  uidi ego te toto uinctum languescere collo
+      et flere iniectis, Galle, diu manibus,
+  et cupere optatis animam deponere uerbis,
+      et quae deinde meus celat, amice, pudor.
+  non ego complexus potui diducere uestros:
+      tantus erat demens inter utrosque furor.
+  non sic Haemonio Salmonida mixtus Enipeo
+      Taenarius facili pressit amore deus,
+  nec sic caelestem flagrans amor Herculis Heben
+      sensit in Oetaeis gaudia prima iugis.
+  una dies omnis potuit praecurrere amantis:
+      nam tibi non tepidas subdidit illa faces,
+  nec tibi praeteritos passa est succedere fastus,
+      nec sinet abduci:  te tuus ardor aget.
+  nec mirum, cum sit Ioue digna et proxima Ledae
+      et Ledae partu gratior, una tribus;
+  illa sit Inachiis et blandior heroinis,
+      illa suis uerbis cogat amare Iouem.
+  tu uero quoniam semel es periturus amore,
+      utere:  non alio limine dignus eras.
+  quae tibi sit felix quoniam nouus incidit error;
+      et quodcumque uoles, una sit ista tibi.

+  TV licet abiectus Tiberina molliter unda
+      Lesbia Mentoreo uina bibas opere,
+  et modo tam celeres mireris currere lintres
+      et modo tam tardas funibus ire ratis;
+  et nemus omne satas intendat uertice siluas,
+      urgetur quantis Caucasus arboribus;
+  non tamen ista meo ualeant contendere amori:
+      nescit Amor magnis cedere diuitiis.
+  nam siue optatam mecum trahit illa quietem,
+      seu facili totum ducit amore diem,
+  tum mihi Pactoli ueniunt sub tecta liquores,
+      et legitur Rubris gemma sub aequoribus;
+  tum mihi cessuros spondent mea gaudia reges:
+      quae maneant, dum me fata perire uolent!
+  nam quis diuitiis aduerso gaudet Amore?
+      nulla mihi tristi praemia sint Venere!
+  illa potest magnas heroum infringere uires,
+      illa etiam duris mentibus esse dolor:
+  illa neque Arabium metuit transcendere limen
+      nec timet ostrino, Tulle, subire toro
+  et miserum toto iuuenem uersare cubili:
+      quid releuant uariis serica textilibus?
+  quae mihi dum placata aderit, non ulla uerebor
+      regna uel Alcinoi munera despicere.

+
+  SAEPE ego multa tuae leuitatis dura timebam,
+      hac tamen excepta, Cynthia, perfidia.
+  aspice me quanto rapiat fortuna periclo!
+      tu tamen in nostro lenta timore uenis;
+  et potes hesternos manibus componere crinis
+      et longa faciem quaerere desidia,
+  nec minus Eois pectus uariare lapillis,
+      ut formosa nouo quae parat ire uiro.
+  at non sic Ithaci digressu mota Calypso
+      desertis olim fleuerat aequoribus:
+  multos illa dies incomptis maesta capillis
+      sederat, iniusto multa locuta salo,
+  et quamuis numquam post haec uisura, dolebat
+      illa tamen, longae conscia laetitiae.
+  nec sic Aesoniden rapientibus anxia uentis
+      Hypsipyle uacuo constitit in thalamo:
+  Hypsipyle nullos post illos sensit amores,
+      ut semel Haemonio tabuit hospitio.
+  Alphesiboea suos ulta est pro coniuge fratres
+      sanguinis et cari uincula rupit amor.
+  coniugis Euadne miseros elata per ignis
+      occidit, Argiuae fama pudicitiae.
+  quarum nulla tuos potuit conuertere mores,
+      tu quoque uti fieres nobilis historia.
+  desine iam reuocare tuis periuria uerbis,
+      Cynthia, et oblitos parce mouere deos;
+  audax a nimium, nostro dolitura periclo,
+      si quid forte tibi durius inciderit!
+  multa prius:  uasto labentur flumina ponto,
+      annus et inuersas duxerit ante uices,
+  quam tua sub nostro mutetur pectore cura:
+      sis quodcumque uoles, non aliena tamen.
+  quam tibi ne uiles isti uideantur ocelli,
+      per quos saepe mihi credita perfidia est!
+  hos tu iurabas, si quid mentita fuisses,
+      ut tibi suppositis exciderent manibus:
+  et contra magnum potes hos attollere Solem,
+      nec tremis admissae conscia nequitiae?
+  quis te cogebat multos pallere colores
+      et fletum inuitis ducere luminibus?
+  quis ego nunc pereo, similis moniturus amantis
+      'O nullis tutum credere blanditiis!'
+
+

+
+  'QVAE fueram magnis olim patefacta triumphis,
+      Ianua Tarpeiae nota pudicitiae;
+  cuius inaurati celebrarunt limina currus,
+      captorum lacrimis umida supplicibus;
+  nunc ego, nocturnis potorum saucia rixis,
+      pulsata indignis saepe queror manibus,
+  et mihi non desunt turpes pendere corollae
+      semper et exclusis signa iacere faces.
+  nec possum infamis dominae defendere noctes
+      nobilis obscenis tradita carminibus;
+  (nec tamen illa suae reuocatur parcere famae,
+      turpior et saecli uiuere luxuria.)
+  has inter grauibus cogor deflere querelis,
+      supplicis a longis tristior excubiis.
+  ille meos numquam patitur requiescere postis,
+      arguta referens carmina blanditia:
+  "Ianua uel domina penitus crudelior ipsa,
+      quid mihi iam duris clausa taces foribus?
+  cur numquam reserata meos admittis amores,
+      nescia furtiuas reddere mota preces?
+  nullane finis erit nostro concessa dolori,
+      turpis et in tepido limine somnus erit?
+  me mediae noctes, me sidera plena iacentem,
+      frigidaque Eoo me dolet aura gelu:
+  tu sola humanos numquam miserata dolores
+      respondes tacitis mutua cardinibus.
+  o utinam traiecta caua mea uocula rima
+      percussas dominae uertat in auriculas!
+  sit licet et saxo patientior illa Sicano,
+      sit licet et ferro durior et chalybe,
+  non tamen illa suos poterit compescere ocellos,
+      surget et inuitis spiritus in lacrimis.
+  nunc iacet alterius felici nixa lacerto,
+      at mea nocturno uerba cadunt Zephyro.
+  sed tu sola mei, tu maxima causa doloris,
+      uicta meis numquam, ianua, muneribus.
+  te non ulla meae laesit petulantia linguae,
+      quae solet irato dicere tota loco,
+  ut me tam longa raucum patiare querela
+      sollicitas triuio peruigilare moras.
+  at tibi saepe nouo deduxi carmina uersu,
+      osculaque impressis nixa dedi gradibus.
+  ante tuos quotiens uerti me, perfida, postis,
+      debitaque occultis uota tuli manibus!"
+  haec ille et si quae miseri nouistis amantes,
+      et matutinis obstrepit alitibus.
+  sic ego nunc dominae uitiis et semper amantis
+      fletibus aeterna deferor inuidia.'
+
+

+  XVII
+
+  ET merito, quoniam potui fugisse puellam
+      nunc ego desertas alloquor alcyonas.
+  nec mihi Cassiope solito uisura carinam,
+      omniaque ingrato litore uota cadunt.
+  quin etiam absenti prosunt tibi, Cynthia, uenti:
+      aspice, quam saeuas increpat aura minas.
+  nullane placatae ueniet fortuna procellae?
+      haecine parua meum funus harena teget?
+  tu tamen in melius saeuas conuerte querelas:
+      sat tibi sit poenae nox et iniqua uada.
+  an poteris siccis mea fata reponere ocellis,
+      ossaque nulla tuo nostra tenere sinu?
+  a pereat, quicumque ratis et uela parauit
+      primus et inuito gurgite fecit iter!
+  nonne fuit leuius dominae peruincere mores
+      (quamuis dura, tamen rara puella fuit),
+  quam sic ignotis circumdata litora siluis
+      cernere et optatos quaerere Tyndaridas?
+  illic si qua meum sepelissent fata dolorem,
+      ultimus et posito staret amore lapis,
+  illa meo caros donasset funere crinis,
+      molliter et tenera poneret ossa rosa;
+  illa meum extremo clamasset puluere nomen,
+      ut mihi non ullo pondere terra foret.
+  at uos, aequoreae formosa Doride natae,
+      candida felici soluite uela choro:
+  si quando uestras labens Amor attigit undas,
+      mansuetis socio parcite litoribus.
+
+
+
+  XVIII
+
+  HAEC certe deserta loca et taciturna querenti,
+      et uacuum Zephyri possidet aura nemus.
+  hic licet occultos proferre impune dolores,
+      si modo sola queant saxa tenere fidem.
+  unde tuos primum repetam, mea Cynthia, fastus?
+      quod mihi das flendi, Cynthia, principium?
+  qui modo felices inter numerabar amantis,
+      nunc in amore tuo cogor habere notam.
+  quid tantum merui?  quae te mihi carmina mutant
+      an noua tristitiae causa puella tuae?
+  sic mihi te referas, leuis, ut non altera nostro
+      limine formosos intulit ulla pedes.
+  quamuis multa tibi dolor hic meus aspera debet,
+      non ita saeua tamen uenerit ira mea
+  ut tibi sim merito semper furor, et tua flendo
+      lumina deiectis turpia sint lacrimis.
+  an quia parua damus mutato signa colore?
+      et non ulla meo clamat in ore fides?
+  uos eritis testes, si quos habet arbor amores,
+      fagus et Arcadio pinus amica deo.
+  a quotiens teneras resonant mea uerba sub umbras,
+      scribitur et uestris Cynthia corticibus!
+  an tua quod peperit nobis iniuria curas,
+      quae solum tacitis cognita sunt foribus?
+  omnia consueui timidus perferre superbae
+      iussa neque arguto facta dolore queri.
+  pro quo diuini fontes et frigida rupes
+      et datur inculto tramite dura quies;
+  et quodcumque meae possunt narrare querelae,
+      cogor ad argutas dicere solus auis.
+  sed qualiscum es resonent mihi 'Cynthia' siluae,
+      nec deserta tuo nomine saxa uacent.
+
+
+
+  XIX
+
+  NON ego nunc tristis uereor, mea Cynthia, Manis,
+      nec moror extremo debita fata rogo;
+  sed ne forte tuo careat mihi funus amore,
+      hic timor est ipsis durior exsequiis.
+  non adeo leuiter noster puer haesit ocellis,
+      ut meus oblito puluis amore uacet.
+  illic Phylacides iucundae coniugis heros
+      non potuit caecis immemor esse locis,
+  sed cupidus falsis attingere gaudia palmis
+      Thessalus antiquam uenerat umbra domum.
+  illic quidquid ero, semper tua dicar imago:
+      traicit et fati litora magnus amor.
+  illic formosae ueniant chorus heroinae,
+      quas dedit Argiuis Dardana praeda uiris;
+  quarum nulla tua fuerit mihi, Cynthia, forma
+      gratior, et (Tellus hoc ita iusta sinat)
+  quamuis te longae remorentur fata senectae,
+      cara tamen lacrimis ossa futura meis.
+  quae tu uiua mea possis sentire fauilla!
+      tum mihi non ullo mors sit amara loco.
+  quam uereor, ne te contempto, Cynthia, busto
+      abstrahat e nostro puluere iniquus Amor,
+  cogat et inuitam lacrimas siccare cadentis!
+      flectitur assiduis certa puella minis.
+  quare, dum licet, inter nos laetemur amantes:
+      non satis est ullo tempore longus amor.
+
+
+
+  XX
+
+  HOC pro continuo te, Galle, monemus amore,
+      (id tibi ne uacuo defluat ex animo)
+  saepe imprudenti fortuna occurrit amanti:
+      crudelis Minyis dixerit Ascanius.
+  est tibi non infra speciem, non nomine dispar,
+      Theiodamanteo proximus ardor Hylae:
+  hunc tu, siue leges umbrosae flumina siluae,
+      siue Aniena tuos tinxerit unda pedes,
+  siue Gigantea spatiabere litoris ora,
+      siue ubicumque uago fluminis hospitio,
+  Nympharum semper cupidas defende rapinas
+      (non minor Ausoniis est amor Adryasin);
+  ne tibi sint duri montes et frigida saxa,
+      Galle, neque expertos semper adire lacus:
+  quae miser ignotis error perpessus in oris
+      Herculis indomito fleuerat Ascanio.
+  namque ferunt olim Pagasae naualibus Argon
+      egressam longe Phasidos isse uiam,
+  et iam praeteritis labentem Athamantidos undis
+      Mysorum scopulis applicuisse ratem.
+  hic manus heroum, placidis ut constitit oris,
+      mollia composita litora fronde tegit.
+  at comes inuicti iuuenis processerat ultra
+      raram sepositi quaerere fontis aquam.
+  hunc duo sectati fratres, Aquilonia proles,
+      hunc super et Zetes, hunc super et Calais,
+  oscula suspensis instabant carpere palmis,
+      oscula et alterna ferre supina fuga.
+  ille sub extrema pendens secluditur ala
+      et uolucres ramo summouet insidias.
+  iam Pandioniae cessat genus Orithyiae:
+      a dolor! ibat Hylas, ibat Hamadryasin.
+  hic erat Arganthi Pegae sub uertice montis
+      grata domus Nymphis umida Thyniasin,
+  quam supra nullae pendebant debita curae
+      roscida desertis poma sub arboribus,
+  et circum irriguo surgebant lilia prato
+      candida purpureis mixta papaueribus.
+  quae modo decerpens tenero pueriliter ungui
+      proposito florem praetulit officio,
+  et modo formosis incumbens nescius undis
+      errorem blandis tardat imaginibus.
+  tandem haurire parat demissis flumina palmis
+      innixus dextro plena trahens umero.
+  cuius ut accensae Dryades candore puellae
+      miratae solitos destituere choros,
+  prolapsum leuiter facili traxere liquore:
+      tum sonitum rapto corpore fecit Hylas.
+  cui procul Alcides iterat responsa, sed illi
+      nomen ab extremis fontibus aura refert.
+  his, o Galle, tuos monitus seruabis amores,
+      formosum Nymphis credere uisus Hylan.
+  'Tu, qui consortem properas euadere casum,
+      miles ab Etruscis saucius aggeribus,
+  quid nostro gemitu turgentia lumina torques?
+      pars ego sum uestrae proxima militiae.
+  sic te seruato, ut possint gaudere parentes,
+      ne soror acta tuis sentiat e lacrimis:
+  Gallum per medios ereptum Caesaris ensis
+      effugere ignotas non potuisse manus;
+  et quicumque super dispersa inuenerit ossa
+      montibus Etruscis, haec sciat esse mea.'
+
+
+
+  XXII
+
+  QVALIS et unde genus, qui sint mihi, Tulle, Penates,
+      quaeris pro nostra semper amicitia.
+  si Perusina tibi patriae sunt nota sepulcra,
+      (Italiae duris funera temporibus,
+  cum Romana suos egit discordia ciuis,)
+      sic mihi praecipue puluis Etrusca dolor.
+  tu proiecta mei perpessa es membra propinqui,
+      tu nullo miseri contegis ossa solo.
+  proxima supposito contingens Vmbria campo
+      me genuit terris fertilis uberibus.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+*****This file should be named prpti10.txt or prpti10.zip******
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, prpti10.txt.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, prpti10a.txt.
+
+
+We are now trying to release all our books one month in advance
+of the official release dates, for time for better editing.
+
+Please note:  neither this list nor its contents are final till
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.  To be sure you have an
+up to date first edition [xxxxx10x.xxx] please check file sizes
+in the first week of the next month.  Since our ftp program has
+a bug in it that scrambles the date [tried to fix and failed] a
+look at the file size will have to do, but we will try to see a
+new copy has at least one byte more or less.
+
+
+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+fifty hours is one conservative estimate for how long it we take
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.  This
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If our value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $4
+million dollars per hour this year as we release some eight text
+files per month:  thus upping our productivity from $2 million.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by the December 31, 2001.  [10,000 x 100,000,000=Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is 10% of the expected number of computer users by the end
+of the year 2001.
+
+We need your donations more than ever!
+
+All donations should be made to "Project Gutenberg/IBC", and are

+***START**THE SMALL PRINT!**FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN ETEXTS**START***
+Why is this "Small Print!" statement here?  You know: lawyers.
+They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
+your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from
+someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
+fault.  So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
+disclaims most of our liability to you.  It also tells you how
+you can distribute copies of this etext if you want to.
+
+*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT
+By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
+etext, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept
+this "Small Print!" statement.  If you do not, you can receive
+a refund of the money (if any) you paid for this etext by
+sending a request within 30 days of receiving it to the person
+you got it from.  If you received this etext on a physical
+medium (such as a disk), you must return it with your request.
+
+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-
+tm etexts, is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor
+Michael S. Hart through the Project Gutenberg Association at
+Illinois Benedictine College (the "Project").  Among other
+things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
+under the Project's "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works.  Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects".  Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
+[1] the Project (and any other party you may receive this
+etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
+legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
+UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
+INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
+OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
+time to the person you received it from.  If you received it
+on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy.  If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
+
+THIS ETEXT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS".  NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
+TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT
+LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or
+the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
+above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
+may have other legal rights.
+
+INDEMNITY
+You will indemnify and hold the Project, its directors,
+officers, members and agents harmless from all liability, cost
+and expense, including legal fees, that arise directly or
+indirectly from any of the following that you do or cause:
+[1] distribution of this etext, [2] alteration, modification,
+or addition to the etext, or [3] any Defect.
+
+DISTRIBUTION UNDER "PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm"
+You may distribute copies of this etext electronically, or by
+disk, book or any other medium if you either delete this
+"Small Print!" and all other references to Project Gutenberg,
+or:
+
+[1]  Only give exact copies of it.  Among other things, this
+     requires that you do not remove, alter or modify the
+     etext or this "small print!" statement.  You may however,
+     if you wish, distribute this etext in machine readable
+     binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form,
+     including any form resulting from conversion by word pro-
+     cessing or hypertext software, but only so long as
+     *EITHER*:
+
+     [*]  The etext, when displayed, is clearly readable, and
+          does *not* contain characters other than those
+          intended by the author of the work, although tilde
+          (~), asterisk (*) and underline (_) characters may
+          be used to convey punctuation intended by the
+          author, and additional characters may be used to
+          indicate hypertext links; OR
+
+     [*]  The etext may be readily converted by the reader at
+          no expense into plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equivalent
+          form by the program that displays the etext (as is
+          the case, for instance, with most word processors);
+          OR
+
+     [*]  You provide, or agree to also provide on request at
+          no additional cost, fee or expense, a copy of the

+
+[2]  Honor the etext refund and replacement provisions of this
+     "Small Print!" statement.
+
+[3]  Pay a trademark license fee to the Project of 20% of the
+     net profits you derive calculated using the method you
+     already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  If you
+     don't derive profits, no royalty is due.  Royalties are
+     payable to "Project Gutenberg Association / Illinois
+     Benedictine College" within the 60 days following each
+     date you prepare (or were legally required to prepare)
+     your annual (or equivalent periodic) tax return.
+
+WHAT IF YOU *WANT* TO SEND MONEY EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO?
+The Project gratefully accepts contributions in money, time,
+scanning machines, OCR software, public domain etexts, royalty
+free copyright licenses, and every other sort of contribution
+you can think of.  Money should be paid to "Project Gutenberg

+LIBER PRIMVS
+CYNTHIA MONOBIBLOS
+
+I
+
+CYNTHIA prima suis miserum me cepit ocellis,
+    contactum nullis ante cupidinibus.
+tum mihi constantis deiecit lumina fastus
+    et caput impositis pressit Amor pedibus,
+donec me docuit castas odisse puellas
+    improbus, et nullo uiuere consilio.
+et mihi iam toto furor hic non deficit anno,
+    cum tamen aduersos cogor habere deos.
+Milanion nullos fugiendo, Tulle, labores
+    saeuitiam durae contudit Iasidos.
+nam modo Partheniis amens errabat in antris,
+    ibat et hirsutas ille uidere feras;
+ille etiam Hylaei percussus uulnere rami
+    saucius Arcadiis rupibus ingemuit.
+ergo uelocem potuit domuisse puellam:
+    tantum in amore preces et benefacta ualent.
+in me tardus Amor non ullas cogitat artis,
+    nec meminit notas, ut prius, ire uias.
+at uos, deductae quibus est fallacia lunae
+    et labor in magicis sacra piare focis,
+en agedum dominae mentem conuertite nostrae,
+    et facite illa meo palleat ore magis!
+tunc ego crediderim uobis et sidera et amnis
+    posse Cytaeines ducere carminibus.
+et uos, qui sero lapsum reuocatis, amici,
+    quaerite non sani pectoris auxilia.
+fortiter et ferrum saeuos patiemur et ignis,
+    sit modo libertas quae uelit ira loqui.
+ferte per extremas gentis et ferte per undas,
+    qua non ulla meum femina norit iter:
+uos remanete, quibus facili deus annuit aure,
+    sitis et in tuto semper amore pares.
+in me nostra Venus noctes exercet amaras,
+    et nullo uacuus tempore defit Amor.
+hoc, moneo, uitate malum:  sua quemque moretur
+    cura, neque assueto mutet amore locum.
+quod si quis monitis tardas aduerterit auris,
+    heu referet quanto uerba dolore mea!
+
+
+II
+
+QVID iuuat ornato procedere, uita, capillo
+    et tenuis Coa ueste mouere sinus?
+aut quid Orontea crinis perfundere murra,.
+    teque peregrinis uendere muneribus;
+naturae decus mercato perdere cultu,
+    nec sinere in propriis membra nitere bonis?
+crede mihi, non ulla tua est medicina figurae:
+    nudus Amor formae non amat artificem.
+aspice quos summittat humus formosa colores;
+    ut ueniant hederae sponte sua melius,
+surgat et in solis formosius arbutus antris,
+    et sciat indocilis currere lympha uias.
+litora natiuis persuadent picta lapillis,
+    et uolucres nulla dulcius arte canunt.
+non sic Leucippis succendit Castora Phoebe,
+    Pollucem cultu non Hilaira soror;
+non, Idae et cupido quondam discordia Phoebo,
+    Eueni patriis filia litoribus;
+nec Phrygium falso traxit candore maritum
+    auecta externis Hippodamia rotis:
+sed facies aderat nullis obnoxia gemmis,
+    qualis Apelleis est color in tabulis.
+non illis studium uulgo conquirere amantis:
+    illis ampla satis forma pudicitia.
+non ego nunc uereor ne sim tibi uilior istis:
+    uni si qua placet, culta puella sat est;
+cum tibi praesertim Phoebus sua carmina donet
+    Aoniam libens Calliopea lyram,
+unica nec desit iucundis gratia uerbis,
+    omnia quaeque Venus, quaeque Minerua probat.
+his tu semper eris nostrae gratissima uitae,
+    taedia dum miserae sint tibi luxuriae.

+
+QVALIS Thesea iacuit cedente carina
+    languida desertis Gnosia litoribus;
+qualis et accubuit primo Cepheia somno
+    libera iam duris cotibus Andromede;
+nec minus assiduis Edonis fessa choreis
+    qualis in herboso concidit Apidano:
+talis uisa mihi mollem spirare quietem
+    Cynthia non certis nixa caput manibus,
+ebria cum multo traherem uestigia Baccho,
+    et quaterent sera nocte facem pueri.
+hanc ego, nondum etiam sensus deperditus omnis,
+    molliter impresso conor adire toro;
+et quamuis duplici correptum ardore iuberent
+    hac Amor hac Liber, durus uterque deus,
+subiecto leuiter positam temptare lacerto
+    osculaque admota sumere et arma manu,
+non tamen ausus eram dominae turbare quietem,
+    expertae metuens iurgia saeuitiae;
+sed sic intentis haerebam fixus ocellis,
+    Argus ut ignotis cornibus Inachidos.
+et modo soluebam nostra de fronte corollas
+    ponebam tuis, Cynthia, temporibus;
+et modo gaudebam lapsos formare capillos;
+    nunc furtiua cauis poma dabam manibus;
+omniaque ingrato largibar munera somno,
+    munera de prono saepe uoluta sinu;
+et quotiens raro duxit suspiria motu,
+    obstupui uano credulus auspicio,
+ne qua tibi insolitos portarent uisa timores,
+    neue quis inuitam cogeret esse suam:
+donec diuersas praecurrens luna fenestras,
+    luna moraturis sedula luminibus,
+compositos leuibus radiis patefecit ocellos.
+    sic ait in molli fixa toro cubitum:
+`tandem te nostro referens iniuria lecto
+    alterius clausis expulit e foribus?
+namque ubi longa meae consumpsti tempora noctis
+    languidus exactis, ei mihi, sideribus?
+o utinam talis perducas, improbe, noctes,
+    me miseram qualis semper habere iubes!
+nam modo purpureo fallebam stamine somnum,
+    rursus et Orpheae carmine, fessa, lyrae;
+interdum leuiter mecum deserta querebar
+    externo longas saepe in amore moras:
+dum me iucundis lapsam sopor impulit alis.
+    illa fuit lacrimis ultima cura meis.'
+
+
+
+IV
+
+QVID mihi tam multas laudando, Basse, puellas
+    mutatum domina cogis abire mea?
+quid me non pateris uitae quodcumque sequetur
+    hoc magis assueto ducere seruitio?
+tu licet Antiopae formam Nycteidos, et tu
+    Spartanae referas laudibus Hermionae,
+et quascumque tulit formosi temporis aetas;
+    Cynthia non illas nomen habere sinat:
+nedum, si leuibus fuerit collata figuris,
+    inferior duro iudice turpis eat.
+haec sed forma mei pars est extrema furoris;
+    sunt maiora, quibus, Basse, perire iuuat:
+ingenuus color et multis decus artibus, et quae
+    gaudia sub tacita dicere ueste libet.
+quo magis et nostros contendis soluere amores,
+    hoc magis accepta fallit uterque fide.
+non impune feres:  sciet haec insana puella
+    et tibi non tacitis uocibus hostis erit;
+nec tibi me post haec committet Cynthia nec te
+    quaeret; erit tanti criminis illa memor,
+et te circum omnis alias irata puellas
+    differet:  heu nullo limine carus eris.
+nullas illa suis contemnet fletibus aras,
+    et quicumque sacer, qualis ubique, lapis.
+non ullo grauius temptatur Cynthia damno,
+    quam sibi cum rapto cessat amore deus:
+praecipue nostri.  maneat sic semper, adoro,
+    nec quicquam ex illa quod querar inueniam!
+
+
+
+V
+
+INVIDE, tu tandem uoces compesce molestas
+    et sine nos cursu, quo sumus, ire pares!
+quid tibi uis, insane?  meos sentire furores?
+    infelix, properas ultima nosse mala,
+et miser ignotos uestigia ferre per ignis,
+    et bibere e tota toxica Thessalia.
+non est illa uagis similis collata puellis:
+    molliter irasci non solet illa tibi.
+quod si forte tuis non est contraria uotis,
+    at tibi curarum milia quanta dabit!
+non tibi iam somnos, non illa relinquet ocellos:
+    illa feros animis alligat una uiros.
+a, mea contemptus quotiens ad limina curres,
+    cum tibi singultu fortia uerba cadent,
+et tremulus maestis orietur fletibus horror,
+    et timor informem ducet in ore notam,
+et quaecumque uoles fugient tibi uerba querenti,
+    nec poteris, qui sis aut ubi, nosse miser!
+tum graue seruitium nostrae cogere puellae
+    discere et exclusum quid sit abire domum;
+nec iam pallorem totiens mirabere nostrum,
+    aut cur sim toto corpore nullus ego.
+nec tibi nobilitas poterit succurrere amanti:
+    nescit Amor priscis cedere imaginibus.
+quod si parua tuae dederis uestigia culpae,
+    quam cito de tanto nomine rumor eris!
+non ego tum potero solacia ferre roganti,
+    cum mihi nulla mei sit medicina mali;
+sed pariter miseri socio cogemur amore
+    alter in alterius mutua flere sinu.
+quare, quid possit mea Cynthia, desine, Galle,
+    quaerere:  non impune illa rogata uenit.
+
+
+

+
+NON ego nunc Hadriae uereor mare noscere tecum
+    Tulle, neque Aegaeo ducere uela salo,
+cum quo Rhipaeos possim conscendere montis
+    ulterius domos uadere Memnonias;
+sed me complexae remorantur uerba puellae,
+    mutatoque graues saepe colore preces.
+illa mihi totis argutat noctibus ignis,
+    et queritur nullos esse relicta deos;
+illa meam mihi iam se denegat, illa minatur,
+    quae solet irato tristis amica uiro.
+his ego non horam possum durare querelis:
+    a pereat, si quis lentus amare potest!
+an mihi sit tanti doctas cognoscere Athenas
+    atque Asiae ueteres cernere diuitias,
+ut mihi deducta faciat conuicia puppi
+    Cynthia et insanis ora notet manibus,
+osculaque opposito dicat sibi debita uento,
+    et nihil infido durius esse uiro?
+tu patrui meritas conare anteire securis,
+    et uetera oblitis iura refer sociis.
+nam tua non aetas umquam cessauit amori,
+    semper et armatae cura fuit patriae;
+et tibi non umquam nostros puer iste labores
+    afferat et lacrimis omnia nota meis!
+me sine, quem semper uoluit fortuna iacere,
+    hanc animam extremae reddere nequitiae.
+multi longinquo periere in amore libenter,
+    in quorum numero me quoque terra tegat.
+non ego sum laudi, non natus idoneus armis:
+    hanc me militiam fata subire uolunt.
+at tu seu mollis qua tendit Ionia, seu qua
+    Lydia Pactoli tingit arata liquor;
+seu pedibus terras seu pontum carpere remis
+    ibis, et accepti pars eris imperii:
+tum tibi si qua mei ueniet non immemor hora,
+    uiuere me duro sidere certus eris.

+VII
+
+DVM tibi Cadmeae dicuntur, Pontice, Thebae
+    armaque fraternae tristia militiae,
+atque, ita sim felix, primo contendis Homero,
+    (sint modo fata tuis mollia carminibus:)
+nos, ut consuemus, nostros agitamus amores,
+    atque aliquid duram quaerimus in dominam;
+nec tantum ingenio quantum seruire dolori
+    cogor et aetatis tempora dura queri.
+hic mihi conteritur uitae modus, haec mea fama est,
+    hinc cupio nomen carminis ire mei.
+me laudent doctae solum placuisse puellae,
+    Pontice, et iniustas saepe tulisse minas;
+me legat assidue post haec neglectus amator,
+    et prosint illi cognita nostra mala.
+te quoque si certo puer hic concusserit arcu,
+    (quod nolim:  nostros te uiolasse deos!)
+longe castra tibi, longe miser agmina septem
+    flebis in aeterno surda iacere situ;
+et frustra cupies mollem componere uersum,
+    nec tibi subiciet carmina serus Amor.
+tum me non humilem mirabere saepe poetam,
+    tunc ego Romanis praeferar ingeniis;
+nec poterunt iuuenes nostro reticere sepulcro
+    `Ardoris nostri magne poeta, iaces.'
+tu caue nostra tuo contemnas carmina fastu:
+    saepe uenit magno faenore tardus Amor.

+
+TVNE igitur demens, nec te mea cura moratur?
+    an tibi sum gelida uilior Illyria?
+et tibi iam tanti, quicumque est, iste uidetur,
+    ut sine me uento quolibet ire uelis?
+tune audire potes uesani murmura ponti
+    fortis, et in dura naue iacere potes?
+tu pedibus teneris positas fulcire pruinas,
+    tu potes insolitas, Cynthia, ferre niues?
+o utinam hibernae duplicentur tempora brumae,
+    et sit iners tardis nauita Vergiliis,
+nec tibi Tyrrhena soluatur funis harena,
+    neue inimica meas eleuet aura preces!
+atque ego non uideam talis subsidere uentos,
+    cum tibi prouectas auferet unda ratis,
+ut me defixum uacua patiatur in ora
+    crudelem infesta saepe uocare manu!
+Sed quocumque modo de me, periura, mereris,
+    sit Galatea tuae non aliena uiae:
+ut te, felici praeuecta Ceraunia remo,
+    accipiat placidis Oricos aequoribus.
+nam me non ullae poterunt corrumpere, de te
+    quin ego, uita, tuo limine uerba querar;
+nec me deficiet nautas rogitare citatos
+    `Dicite, quo portu clausa puella mea est?
+et dicam `Licet Atraciis considat in oris,
+    et licet Hylleis, illa futura mea est.'
+hic erat! hic iurata manet! rumpantur iniqui!
+    uicimus:  assiduas non tulit illa preces.
+falsa licet cupidus deponat gaudia liuor:
+    destitit ire nouas Cynthia nostra uias.
+illi carus ego et per me carissima Roma
+    dicitur, et sine me dulcia regna negat.
+illa uel angusto mecum requiescere lecto
+    et quocumque modo maluit esse mea,
+quam sibi dotatae regnum uetus Hippodamiae,
+    et quas Elis opes ante pararat equis.
+quamuis magna daret, quamuis maiora daturus,
+    non tamen illa meos fugit auara sinus.
+hanc ego non auro, non Indis flectere conchis,
+    sed potui blandi carminis obsequio.
+sunt igitur Musae, neque amanti tardus Apollo,
+    quis ego fretus amo:  Cynthia rara mea est!
+nunc mihi summa licet contingere sidera plantis:
+    siue dies seu nox uenerit, illa mea est!
+nec mihi riualis certos subducit amores:
+    ista meam norit gloria canitiem.
+
+
+
+IX
+
+DICEBAM tibi uenturos, irrisor, amores,
+    nec tibi perpetuo libera uerba fore:
+ecce iaces supplexque uenis ad iura puellae,
+    et tibi nunc quaeuis imperat empta modo.
+non me Chaoniae uincant in amore columbae
+    dicere, quos iuuenes quaeque puella domet.
+me dolor et lacrimae merito fecere peritum:
+    atque utinam posito dicar amore rudis!
+quid tibi nunc misero prodest graue dicere carmen
+    aut Amphioniae moenia flere lyrae?
+plus in amore ualet Mimnermi uersus Homero:
+    carmina mansuetus lenia quaerit Amor.
+i quaeso et tristis istos compone libellos,
+    et cane quod quaeuis nosse puella uelit!
+quid si non esset facilis tibi copia?  nunc tu
+    insanus medio flumine quaeris aquam.
+necdum etiam palles, uero nec tangeris igni:
+    haec est uenturi prima fauilla mali.
+tum magis Armenias cupies accedere tigris
+    et magis infernae uincula nosse rotae,
+quam pueri totiens arcum sentire medullis
+    et nihil iratae posse negare tuae.
+nullus Amor cuiquam facilis ita praebuit alas,
+    ut non alterna presserit ille manu.
+nec te decipiat, quod sit satis illa parata:
+    acrius illa subit, Pontice, si qua tua est,
+quippe ubi non liceat uacuos seducere ocellos
+    nec uigilare alio nomine cedat Amor.
+qui non ante patet, donec manus attigit ossa.
+    quisquis es, assiduas a fuge blanditias!
+illis et silices et possint cedere quercus,
+    nedum tu possis, spiritus iste leuis.

+O IVCVNDA quies, primo cum testis amori

+o noctem meminisse mihi iucunda uoluptas,
+    o quotiens uotis illa uocanda meis.
+cum te complexa morientem, Galle, puella
+    uidimus et longa ducere uerba mora!
+quamuis labentis premeret mihi somnus ocellos
+    et mediis caelo Luna ruberet equis,
+non tamen a uestro potui secedere lusu.
+    tantus in alternis uocibus ardor erat.
+sed quoniam non es ueritus concedere nobis,
+    accipe commissae munera laetitiae:
+non solum uestros didici reticere dolores,
+    est quiddam in nobis maius, amice, fide.
+possum ego diuersos iterum coniungere amantis.
+    et dominae tardas possum aperire fores;
+et possum alterius curas sanare recentis,
+    nec leuis in uerbis est medicina meis.
+Cynthia me docuit semper quaecumque petenda
+    quaeque cauenda forent:  non nihil egit Amor.
+tu caue ne tristi cupias pugnare puellae,
+    neue superba loqui, neue tacere diu;
+neu, si quid petiit, ingrata fronte negaris.
+    neu tibi pro uano uerba benigna cadant.
+irritata uellit, quando contemnitur illa,
+    nec meminit iustas ponere laesa minas:
+at quo sis humilis magis et subiectus amori,
+    hoc magis effecto saepe fruare bono.
+is poterit felix una remanere puella,
+    qui numquam uacuo pectore liber erit.

+ECQVID te mediis cessantem, Cynthia, Bais,
+    qua iacet Herculeis semita litoribus,
+et modo Thesproti mirantem subdita regno
+    proxima Misenis aequora nobilibus,
+nostri cura subit memores a! ducere noctes?
+    ecquis in extremo restat amore locus?
+an te nescio quis simulatis ignibus hostis
+    sustulit e nostris, Cynthia, carminibus?
+atque utinam mage te, remis confisa minutis,
+    paruula Lucrina cumba moretur aqua,
+aut teneat clausam tenui Teuthrantis in unda
+    alternae facilis cedere lympha manu,
+quam uacet alterius blandos audire susurros
+    molliter in tacito litore compositam!Q
+ut solet amota labi custode puella
+    perfida, communis nec meminisse deos:
+non quia perspecta non es mihi cognita fama,
+    sed quod in hac omnis parte timetur amor.
+ignosces igitur, si quid tibi triste libelli
+    attulerint nostri:  culpa timoris erit.
+`an mihi non maior carae custodia matris?'
+    aut sine te uitae cura sit ulla meae?
+tu mihi sola domus, tu, Cynthia, sola parentes,
+    omnia tu nostrae tempora laetitiae.
+seu tristis ueniam seu contra laetus amicis,
+    quicquid ero, dicam' Cynthia causa fuit.
+tu modo quam primum corruptas desere Baias:
+    multis ista dabunt litora discidium,
+litora quae fuerant castis inimica puellis:
+    a pereant Baiae, crimen amoris, aquae!
+
+
+
+XII
+
+QVID mihi desidiae non cessas fingere crimen,
+    quod faciat nobis conscia Roma moram?
+tam multa illa meo diuisa est milia lecto,
+    quantum Hypanis Veneto dissidet Eridano;
+nec mihi consuetos amplexu nutrit amores
+    Cynthia, nec nostra dulcis in aure sonat.
+olim gratus eram:  non illo tempore cuiquam
+    contigit ut simili posset amare fide.
+inuidiae fuimus:  non me deus obruit?  an quae
+    lecta Prometheis diuidit herba iugis?
+non sum ego qui fueram:  mutat uia longa puellas.
+    quantus in exiguo tempore fugit amor!
+nunc primum longas solus cognoscere noctes
+    cogor et ipse meis auribus esse grauis.
+felix, qui potuit praesenti flere puellae;
+    non nihil aspersis gaudet Amor lacrimis:
+aut si despectus potuit mutare calores,
+    sunt quoque translato gaudia seruitio.
+mi neque amare aliam neque ab hac desistere fas est:
+    Cynthia prima fuit, Cynthia finis erit.
+
+
+

+
+TV, quod saepe soles, nostro laetabere casu,
+    Galle, quod abrepto solus amore uacem.
+at non ipse tuas imitabor, perfide, uoces:
+    fallere te numquam, Galle, puella uelit.
+dum tibi deceptis augetur fama puellis,
+    certus et in nullo quaeris amore moram,
+perditus in quadam tardis pallescere curis
+    incipis, et primo lapsus abire gradu.
+haec erit illarum contempti poena doloris:
+    multarum miseras exiget una uices.
+haec tibi uulgaris istos compescet amores,
+    nec noua quaerendo semper amicus eris.
+haec ego non rumore malo, non augure doctus;
+    uidi ego:  me quaeso teste negare potes?
+uidi ego te toto uinctum languescere collo
+    et flere iniectis, Galle, diu manibus,
+et cupere optatis animam deponere uerbis,
+    et quae deinde meus celat, amice, pudor.
+non ego complexus potui diducere uestros:
+    tantus erat demens inter utrosque furor.
+non sic Haemonio Salmonida mixtus Enipeo
+    Taenarius facili pressit amore deus,
+nec sic caelestem flagrans amor Herculis Heben
+    sensit in Oetaeis gaudia prima iugis.
+una dies omnis potuit praecurrere amantis:
+    nam tibi non tepidas subdidit illa faces,
+nec tibi praeteritos passa est succedere fastus,
+    nec sinet abduci:  te tuus ardor aget.
+nec mirum, cum sit Ioue digna et proxima Ledae
+    et Ledae partu gratior, una tribus;
+illa sit Inachiis et blandior heroinis,
+    illa suis uerbis cogat amare Iouem.
+tu uero quoniam semel es periturus amore,
+    utere:  non alio limine dignus eras.
+quae tibi sit felix quoniam nouus incidit error;
+    et quodcumque uoles, una sit ista tibi.

+    et modo tam tardas funibus ire ratis;
+et nemus omne satas intendat uertice siluas,
+    urgetur quantis Caucasus arboribus;
+non tamen ista meo ualeant contendere amori:
+    nescit Amor magnis cedere diuitiis.
+nam siue optatam mecum trahit illa quietem,
+    seu facili totum ducit amore diem,
+tum mihi Pactoli ueniunt sub tecta liquores,
+    et legitur Rubris gemma sub aequoribus;
+tum mihi cessuros spondent mea gaudia reges:
+    quae maneant, dum me fata perire uolent!
+nam quis diuitiis aduerso gaudet Amore?
+    nulla mihi tristi praemia sint Venere!
+illa potest magnas heroum infringere uires,
+    illa etiam duris mentibus esse dolor:
+illa neque Arabium metuit transcendere limen
+    nec timet ostrino, Tulle, subire toro
+et miserum toto iuuenem uersare cubili:
+    quid releuant uariis serica textilibus?
+quae mihi dum placata aderit, non ulla uerebor

+aspice me quanto rapiat fortuna periclo!
+    tu tamen in nostro lenta timore uenis;
+et potes hesternos manibus componere crinis
+    et longa faciem quaerere desidia,
+nec minus Eois pectus uariare lapillis,
+    ut formosa nouo quae parat ire uiro.
+at non sic Ithaci digressu mota Calypso
+    desertis olim fleuerat aequoribus:
+multos illa dies incomptis maesta capillis
+    sederat, iniusto multa locuta salo,
+et quamuis numquam post haec uisura, dolebat
+    illa tamen, longae conscia laetitiae.
+nec sic Aesoniden rapientibus anxia uentis
+    Hypsipyle uacuo constitit in thalamo:
+Hypsipyle nullos post illos sensit amores,
+    ut semel Haemonio tabuit hospitio.
+Alphesiboea suos ulta est pro coniuge fratres
+    sanguinis et cari uincula rupit amor.
+coniugis Euadne miseros elata per ignis

+desine iam reuocare tuis periuria uerbis,
+    Cynthia, et oblitos parce mouere deos;
+audax a nimium, nostro dolitura periclo,
+    si quid forte tibi durius inciderit!
+multa prius:  uasto labentur flumina ponto,
+    annus et inuersas duxerit ante uices,
+quam tua sub nostro mutetur pectore cura:
+    sis quodcumque uoles, non aliena tamen.
+quam tibi ne uiles isti uideantur ocelli,
+    per quos saepe mihi credita perfidia est!
+hos tu iurabas, si quid mentita fuisses,
+    ut tibi suppositis exciderent manibus:
+et contra magnum potes hos attollere Solem,
+    nec tremis admissae conscia nequitiae?
+quis te cogebat multos pallere colores

+    nec moror extremo debita fata rogo;
+sed ne forte tuo careat mihi funus amore,
+    hic timor est ipsis durior exsequiis.
+non adeo leuiter noster puer haesit ocellis,
+    ut meus oblito puluis amore uacet.
+illic Phylacides iucundae coniugis heros
+    non potuit caecis immemor esse locis,
+sed cupidus falsis attingere gaudia palmis
+    Thessalus antiquam uenerat umbra domum.
+illic quidquid ero, semper tua dicar imago:
+    traicit et fati litora magnus amor.
+illic formosae ueniant chorus heroinae,
+    quas dedit Argiuis Dardana praeda uiris;
+quarum nulla tua fuerit mihi, Cynthia, forma
+    gratior, et (Tellus hoc ita iusta sinat)
+quamuis te longae remorentur fata senectae,
+    cara tamen lacrimis ossa futura meis.
+quae tu uiua mea possis sentire fauilla!
+    tum mihi non ullo mors sit amara loco.
+quam uereor, ne te contempto, Cynthia, busto
+    abstrahat e nostro puluere iniquus Amor,
+cogat et inuitam lacrimas siccare cadentis!
+    flectitur assiduis certa puella minis.
+quare, dum licet, inter nos laetemur amantes:
+    non satis est ullo tempore longus amor.

+XX
+
+HOC pro continuo te, Galle, monemus amore,
+    (id tibi ne uacuo defluat ex animo)
+saepe imprudenti fortuna occurrit amanti:
+    crudelis Minyis dixerit Ascanius.
+est tibi non infra speciem, non nomine dispar,
+    Theiodamanteo proximus ardor Hylae:
+hunc tu, siue leges umbrosae flumina siluae,
+    siue Aniena tuos tinxerit unda pedes,
+siue Gigantea spatiabere litoris ora,
+    siue ubicumque uago fluminis hospitio,
+Nympharum semper cupidas defende rapinas
+    (non minor Ausoniis est amor Adryasin);
+ne tibi sint duri montes et frigida saxa,
+    Galle, neque expertos semper adire lacus:
+quae miser ignotis error perpessus in oris
+    Herculis indomito fleuerat Ascanio.
+namque ferunt olim Pagasae naualibus Argon
+    egressam longe Phasidos isse uiam,
+et iam praeteritis labentem Athamantidos undis
+    Mysorum scopulis applicuisse ratem.
+hic manus heroum, placidis ut constitit oris,
+    mollia composita litora fronde tegit.
+at comes inuicti iuuenis processerat ultra
+    raram sepositi quaerere fontis aquam.
+hunc duo sectati fratres, Aquilonia proles,
+    hunc super et Zetes, hunc super et Calais,
+oscula suspensis instabant carpere palmis,
+    oscula et alterna ferre supina fuga.
+ille sub extrema pendens secluditur ala
+    et uolucres ramo summouet insidias.
+iam Pandioniae cessat genus Orithyiae:
+    a dolor! ibat Hylas, ibat Hamadryasin.
+hic erat Arganthi Pegae sub uertice montis
+    grata domus Nymphis umida Thyniasin,
+quam supra nullae pendebant debita curae
+    roscida desertis poma sub arboribus,
+et circum irriguo surgebant lilia prato
+    candida purpureis mixta papaueribus.
+quae modo decerpens tenero pueriliter ungui
+    proposito florem praetulit officio,
+et modo formosis incumbens nescius undis
+    errorem blandis tardat imaginibus.
+tandem haurire parat demissis flumina palmis
+    innixus dextro plena trahens umero.
+cuius ut accensae Dryades candore puellae
+    miratae solitos destituere choros,
+prolapsum leuiter facili traxere liquore:
+    tum sonitum rapto corpore fecit Hylas.
+cui procul Alcides iterat responsa, sed illi
+    nomen ab extremis fontibus aura refert.
+his, o Galle, tuos monitus seruabis amores,
+    formosum Nymphis credere uisus Hylan.
+`Tu, qui consortem properas euadere casum,
+    miles ab Etruscis saucius aggeribus,
+quid nostro gemitu turgentia lumina torques?
+    pars ego sum uestrae proxima militiae.
+sic te seruato, ut possint gaudere parentes,
+    ne soror acta tuis sentiat e lacrimis:
+Gallum per medios ereptum Caesaris ensis
+    effugere ignotas non potuisse manus;
+et quicumque super dispersa inuenerit ossa
+    montibus Etruscis, haec sciat esse mea.'
+

+
+QVALIS et unde genus, qui sint mihi, Tulle, Penates,
+    quaeris pro nostra semper amicitia.
+si Perusina tibi patriae sunt nota sepulcra,
+    (Italiae duris funera temporibus,
+cum Romana suos egit discordia ciuis,)
+    sic mihi praecipue puluis Etrusca dolor.
+tu proiecta mei perpessa es membra propinqui,
+    tu nullo miseri contegis ossa solo.
+proxima supposito contingens Vmbria campo
+    me genuit terris fertilis uberibus.
