Cum cathedrata litos portet tibi raeda ministros
Et Libys in longo pulvere sudet eques,
Strataque non unas cingant triclinia Baias
Et Thetis unguento palleat uncta tuo,
Candida Setini rumpant crystalla trientes,
Dormiat in pluma nec meliore Venus:
Ad nocturna iaces fastosae limina moechae,
Et madet, heu, lacrimis ianua surda tuis,
Urere nec miserum cessant suspiria pectus.
Vis dicam, male sit cur tibi, Cotta? bene est.
