Acmen Septimius suos amores
tenens in gremio “mea,” inquit, “Acme,
ni te perdite amo atque amare porro
omnes sum adsidue paratus annos
quantum qui pote plurimum perire,
solus in Libya Indiaque tosta
caesio veniam obvius leoni.”
hoc ut dixit, Amor, sinistra ut ante,
dextra sternuit adprobationem.
at Acme leviter caput reflectens
et dulcis pueri ebrios ocellos
illo purpureo ore saviata
“sic,” inquit, “mea vita, Septimille,
huic uni domino usque serviamus,
ut multo mihi maior acriorque
ignis mollibus ardet in medullis.”
hoc ut dixit, Arnor, sinistra ut ante,
dextra sternuit adprobationem.
nunc ab auspicio bono profecti
mutuis animis amant amantur.
unam Septimius misellus Acmen
mavult quam Syrias Britanniasque:
uno in Septimio fidelis Acme
facit delicias libidinesque.
quis ullos homines beatiores
vidit, quis Venerem auspicatiorem?
