Persicos odi, puer, adparatus, displicent nexae philyra coronae, mitte sectari, rosa quo locorum sera moretur. simplici myrto nihil adlabores sedulus curo: neque te ministrum dedecet myrtus neque me sub arta vite bibentem

Je hais, enfant, tes apprêts Persiques; les couronnes enlacées de tilleul me déplaisent ; ne cherche pas en quel lieu se rencontre la rose tardive. Par un soin inutile n'ajoute rien au simple myrte. Le myrte ne messied, ni à toi qui me sers, ni à moi buvant sous la vigne recourbée.
