Quod cecini quondam Gryneae tristis in Aeni
Litoribus, maestum carmen habere cupis.
Quidquid id est, concedo libens. Nec carmina solum,
Hanc etiam, mecum si foret illa, darem.
Decrevi tandem, quae quadret, ducere vitam,
Aetati, et castus religiosa sequi.
Est hominum instabilis fluxus, periturus, at ipse
In superos omni tempore durat amor.
