by Iohannes Campanus Vodnianus (c1572 - 1622)

Surge iam linquens
Language: Latin 
 Surge iam linquens thalamum tepentem,
   veni, quid haeres, lux mea?
 nix fuit, fugit, gelido recessit
   hiems iniqua frigore.

 terra dat flores, levis herva crescit,
   aves suaves dant sonos;
 ingemit turtur, qui ager? virescit 
   fructusque promittit bonos.

 grossulos ficus dedit, aputatae
   halant odorem vineae:
 surge iam iam, cara, veni, para te
   ad culta terrae floreae.

 quae colis petras et amas cavernas,
   columba, provola, mea,
 nam moves cultu facieque vernas
   placesque voce mellea.
