VIRGINIS CAPILLI
Promissae precibis toties, totiesque moratae,
Exuviae suaves virginei capitis!
Venustis tandem; haud fugientes oscula, collo
Haeretis nullo tempore deciduae.
Qui nostrum haud metuent olim violare sepulchrum
Cassa viri invenient ossa, caputque viri,
Atque hos foemineos ubi colla fuere, capillos . .
His pascant oculos abstineantque manus.
