Haec sunt iIla mei quae cemitis ora Camoni,
haec pueri facies primaque forma fuit.
creverat hic vultus bis denis fortior annis
gaudebatque suas pingere barba genas,
et libata semel summos modo purpura cultros
sparserat. Invidit de tribus una soror
et festinatis incidit stamina pensis
apsentemque patri rettulit urna rogum.
Sed ne sola tamen puerum pictura loquatur,
haec erit in chartis maior imago meis.
