Language: Greek (Ελληνικά)
Λαμπάδα θεὶς καὶ τόξα βοηλάτιν εἵλετο ῥάβδον οὖλος Ἔρως, πήρην δ̓ εἶχε κατωμαδίην, καὶ ζεύξας ταλαεργὸν ὑπὸ ζυγὸν αὐχένα ταύρων ἔσπειρεν Δηοῦς αὔλακα πυροφόρον. 5εἶπε δ̓ ἄνω βλέψας αὐτῷ Διί: ‘πλῆσον ἀρούρας, μή σε τὸν Εὐρώπης βοῦν ὑπ̓ ἄροτρα βάλω.’

Amore arante Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the Greek (Ελληνικά)
Amore un dì la fiaccola deposta, e i dardi suoi, Un zaino tolse, e un pungolo, al giogo avvinse i buoi. Menò pel campo il vomere, e il gran copioso e folto Sparse sul solco fertile: Poi disse al ciel rivolto: «O Giove, or tu propizio seconda il mio lavoro, O per arar qui tornoti, qual per Europa, in toro.» Amor, fermato il vomere sì disse al ciel rivolto; poi sparse al solco fertile, il gran copioso e folto.
