Basia da nobis, Diadumene, pressa. "Quot?" inquis.
Oceani fluctus me numerare iubes
et maris Aegaei sparsas per litora conchas
et quae Cecropio monte uagantur apes,
quaeque sonant pleno uocesque manusque theatro
cum populus subiti Caesaris ora uidet.
Nolo quot arguto dedit exorata Catullo
Lesbia: pauca cupit qui numerare potest.
