Suscipe, flos, florem
Language: Latin
Suscipe, flos, florem, quia flos designat amorem! illo de flore nimio sum captus amore. hunc florem, Flora dulcissima, semper odora! nam velut aurora fiet tua forma decora. florem, Flora, vide, quem dum videas, mihi ride! florem Flora tene, tua vox cantus philomene. oscula des flori, rubeo flos convenit ori. flos in pictura non est flos, immo figura ; qui pingit florem non pingit floris odorem.
