Suscipe Flos florem,
quia flos designat amorem.
Illo de flore
nimio sum captus amore.
Hunc florem, Flora
dulcissima, semper odora,
nam velut aurora
fiet tua forma decora.
Florem Flora vide,
quem dum videas, mihi ride.
Florem Flora tene,
tua vox cantus philomene.
Oscula des flori,
rubeo flos convenit ori.
Flos in pictura
non est flos, immo figura;
qui pingit florem
non pigit floris odorem. Medieval Latin The Latin Library The Classics Homepage
