[3] More simply, “nisi vis me valere, malo mori”.

evincere morbos: This is a strikingly prosy phrase, not found elsewhere in elegy. More usual would be some form of “curare” or “sanare”, as for example in

“Possum ego diversos iterum coniungere amantis,
et dominae tardas possum aperire fores;
et possum alterius curas sanare recentis,
nec levis in verbis est medicina meis.
”
Propertius 1.10.15-18

or in Tibullus 2.3.13 “Nec potuit curas sanare salubribus herbis”
