O Venus, regina Gnidi Paphique, Sperne dilectam Cypron, et, vocantis Ture te multo, Glyceræ decoram Transfer in ædem. Fervidus tecum puer, et solutis Gratiæ zonis, properentque Nymphæ, Et, parum comis sine te, Juventas, Mercuriusque.

 

I hate the Persian's costly pride; The wreaths with bands of Linden tied; These, boy, delight me not; Nor where the lingering roses bide, Seek thou for me the spot.
