Ad pictorem
Language: Latin
Pinge, precor, pictor, tali candore puellam, qualem finxit amor, qualem meus ignis anhelat. nil pingendo neges: tegat omnia Serica vestis, quae totum prodat tenui velamine corpus: te quoque pulset Amor, crucient pigmenta medullas. si bonus es pictor, miser in suspiria pinge.
