Lassa quod nesterni spirant opobalsama dracti,
ultima quod curvo quae cadit nura croco;
poma quod hiberna maturescentia capsa,
arbole quod verna luxuriosus ager;
de Palatinis dominae quod Serica prelis,
sucina virginea quod regelata manu;
amphora quod nigri, sed longe, fracta Falerni,
quod qui Sicanias detinet hortus apes;
quod Cosmi redolent alabastra focique deorum,
quod modo divitibus lapsa corona comis:
singula quid dicam? Non sunt satis; omnia misce
hoc fragrant pueri basia mane mei.
Scire cupis nomen? Si propter basia, dicam.
Jurasti. Nimium scire, Sabine, cupis.
