text : poem : line

[3] tota iuventa: Ablative of time. Because Sulpicia is still young, this means the same as “per totam vitam”. Note carefully the case of stulta.

All the bicipitia in this line are contracted (except for the fifth, of course). The heavy meter gives the impression that Sulpicia is speaking slowly and deliberately, trying hard to convince Cerinthus.
