Priscus ab Aetnaeis mihi, Flacce, Terentius oris
Redditur: hanc lucem lactea gemma notet;
Defluat et lento splendescat turbida lino
Amphora centeno consule facta minor.
Continget nox quando meis tam candida mensis?
Tam iusto dabitur quando calere mero?
Cum te, Flacce, mihi reddet Cythereia Cypros,
Luxuriae fiet tam bona causa meae.
