O molles tibi quindecim, Calene,
Quos cum Sulpicia tua iugales
Indulsit deus et peregit annos!
O nox omnis et hora, quae notata est
Caris litoris Indici lapillis!
O quae proelia, quas utrimque pugnas
Felix lectulus et lucerna vidit
Nimbis ebria Nicerotianis!
Vixisti tribus, o Calene, lustris:
Aetas haec tibi tota conputatur
Et solos numeras dies mariti.
Ex illis tibi si diu rogatam
Lucem redderet Atropos vel unam,
Malles, quam Pyliam quater senectam.
