34. Tristitia [sung text checked 1 time]
In lectulo quaero meo, amore cuius langueo. querorque, cordi quod meo carum videre non queo. quid cesso? surgo, semitas percurro, qua stat civitas. querorque, cordi quod meo carum videre non queo. vidistis inquam vos eum, quem deperit pectus meum? vos dico, quorum moenia haec tuta sunt custodia. at ecce cum dicto meo, amore cuius langueo, adest et ad matrem meam mecum venit, ne maeream.

35. Ad lunam [sung text checked 1 time]
Luna, quae vaga vertici montis et tacitis casis immines et anhelitu lucidos legis amnis, te canam miseris piam, Luna, nam simul occidit Sol et aurea cum die Spes hinc avolat omnis, non eam sinis exulem tunc abire, sed excipis candido trepidam sinu vestis, Luna, vietae; induis trepidae tuum lumen, atque silentiis roscidis madidam tuis huc Spem, Luna, remittis; facta quae leve Somnium clausas ingreditur domos, exilisque, ope qua solet, dormientibus adstat.

Tu es oculea mea domina, tuus tuus oculeus ego maneo dominus. tuus tibi pariter anima sum ego tua tua mihi pariter es animula mea mea animula mea. igitur age, precor, age cedo mi cedo tua tenera roseaque labia, tua ea rogo patere modo me avide vide capere rapere premere labiis meis premere labiis. tu eris ita mea et ego tuus ero, ero ego tu ero, tu eris ego. satin erit? erit an et aliud age tibi superat, erat o oculea domina, mea anima? mea animula mea.

37. Ad Hesperum [sung text checked 1 time]
Te, qui nequitias furtaque mollia
et rapta e labiis oscula flammeis
attente specularis
blanda et murmura virginum,
supremum Veneris te genus, Hespere,
oro, qua superas omnia sidera,
o lucem nitidi oris
nigris insere nubibus.
sic ne me Glycerae mellea basia
figentem et Glyceram mellea basia
figentem mihi, matri
morosae timeo indices.
at limen quoties illius obsidet
invisus Bavius, tum precor, Hespere,
tum flamma rutilanti
vincas omnia sidera.

38. Merula [sung text checked 1 time]
En die prono pluvialis imber in rosas horti tiliaeque frondes decidit, noctis tenebras rubescens nuntiat aether. arbore in summa merulae canentis vox sonat dulcis liquide per auras et coloratas avis illa nubes laeta tuetur. quid, meum pectus, tremis et pavescis, aura si quando variat tibique anxio praebent inamoena maestam nubila noctem? quin agis grates merulae canorae instar effundens geniale carmen? quin novo speras fore mane rursum cuncta serena?
