Si quicquam mutis gratum acceptumve sepulcris accidere a nostro, Calve, dolore potest, quo desiderio veteres renovamus amores atque olim missas flemus amicitias, certe non tanto mors immatura dolori est Quintiliae, quantum gaudet amore tuo

Se il desiderio, onde a’ suoi dì felici
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the Latin
Se il desiderio, onde a’ suoi dì felici
Rivive il cor tra’ suoi perduti amici,
Se il dolor nostro i muti avelli molce
Ed agli estinti alcun ricordo è dolce,
L’acerba fin Quintilia or non lamenta
Quanto dell’amor tuo, Calvo, è contenta.
