"Effinxit quondam blandum meditata laborem Basia lascivâ Cypria Diva manâ. Ambrosiæ succos occulta temperat arte, Fragransque infuso nectare tingit opus. Sufficit et partem mellis, quod subdolus olim Non impune favis surripuisset Amor. Decussos violæ foliis admiscet odores Et spolia æstivis plurima rapta rosis, Addit et illecebras et mille et mille lepores, Et quot Acidalius guadia Cestus habet."
