Quanta tua est probitas tanta est infantia formae,
Ceste puer, puero castior Hippolyto.
Te secum Diana uelit doceatque natare,
te Cybele totum mallet habere Phryge;
tu Ganymedeo poteras succedere lecto,
sed durus domino basia sola dares.
Felix, quae tenerum uexabit sponsa maritum
et quae te faciet prima puella uirum!
