ipsa nymphas diva luco iussit ire myrteo. it Puer comes puellis ; nec tamen credi potest esse Amorem feriatum, si sagittas vexerit : "ite, nymphae, posuit arma, feriatus est Amor ! iussus est inermis ire, nudus ire iussus est, neu quid arcu, neu sagitta, neu quid igne laederet. sed tamen, nymphae, cavete, quod Cupido pulcher est : totus est in armis idem, quando nudus est Amor."
