O qui flosculus es Iuuentiorum,
non horum modo sed quot aut fuerunt
aut posthac aliis erunt in annis.
mallem diuitias Midae dedisses
isti cui neque seruus est neque arca
quam sic te sineres ab illo amari.
`Qui? Non est homo bellus?' inquies. Est:
sed bello huic neque seruus est neque arca.
Hoc tu quam libet abice eleuaque:
Nec seruum tamen ille habet neque arcam.}

M{\sc ELLITOS} oculos tuos Iuuenti
siquis me sinat usque basiare
usque ad milia basiem trecenta,
Nec mi umquam uidear satur futurus,
non si densior aridis aristis
sit nostrae seges osculationis.}

N{\sc EMONE} in tanto potuit populo esse, Iuuenti,
\quad bellus homo, quem tu deligere inciperes.
Praeterquam iste tuus moribunda ab sede Pisauri
\quad hospes inaurata palladior statua,
qui tibi nunc cordi est, quem tu praeponere nobis
\quad audes. Et nescis quod facinus facias?}

S{\sc URRIPUI} tibi dum ludis, mellite Iuuenti
\quad suauiolum dulci dulcius ambrosia.
Verum id non impune tuli, namque amplius horam
\quad suffixum in summa me memini esse cruce
dum tibi me purgo nec possum fletibus ullis
\quad tantillum uestrae demere saeuitiae.
Nam simul id factum est multis diluta labella
\quad guttis abstersisti omnibus articulis.
ne quicquam nostro contractum ex ore maneret,
\quad tamquam commictae spurca saliua lupae.
praeterea infestum misero me tradere amore
\quad non cessasti omni excruciarique modo,
ut mi ex ambrosia mutatum iam foret illud
\quad suauiolum tristi tristius elleboro.
quam quoniam poenam misero proponis amori
\quad numquam iam posthac basia surripiam.}
