Nimis o nimis morata, mea dulcis animula,
Iuga peruagaris alta locaque horrida nemorum,
Ubi tristium ferarum commercia rigida
Quod ames probesue amoenum placidumue nihil habent:
5Ubi uultures lupique aut ululae nemoriuagae
Stridoribus malignis tibi lugubre maleque
Minitentur, et tremorem, mea uita, tibi ferant;
Quam me quietiorem facile esse cupierim
Tibi si omnia auspicato fieri precor et bene
10Succedere id quod optas prece sollicito deos.
Sed age ista saxa tamque inamoena fuge loca,
Et amabilem tuorum sedem repetere ama,
Ubi Cypris et Voluptas, Iocus et lepidus Amor
Hilarant beantque amantes, ubi laetitia uiget,
15Abit aegritudo et omnis fit maestitia procul.
Sapienter ergo pergas bene consulere tibi.
