CYNTHIA prima suis miserum me cepit ocellis,
tum mihi constantis deiecit lumina fastus
donec me docuit castas odisse puellas
et mihi iam toto furor hic non deficit anno,
Milanion nullos fugiendo, Tulle, labores
nam modo Partheniis amens errabat in antris,
ille etiam Hylaei percussus uulnere rami
ergo uelocem potuit domuisse puellam:
in me tardus Amor non ullas cogitat artis ,
at uos, deductae quibus est .html">est fallacia lunae
en agedum dominae mentem conuertite nostrae,
tunc ego crediderim uobis et sidera et amnis
et uos, qui sero lapsum reuocatis, amici,
fortiter et ferrum saeuos patiemur et ignis,
ferte per .html">per extremas gentis et ferte per undas,
uos remanete, quibus facili deus annuit aure ,
in me nostra Venus noctes exercet amaras,
hoc, moneo, uitate malum: sua quemque moretur
quod si quis monitis tardas aduerterit auris,

QVID iuuat ornato procedere, uita, capillo
aut quid Orontea crinis perfundere murra,.
naturae decus mercato perdere cultu,
crede mihi, non ulla tua est medicina figurae:
aspice quos summittat humus formosa colores;
surgat et in solis formosius arbutus antris,
