Veris dulcis in tempore
Language: Latin
Veris dulcis in tempore florenti stat sub arbore Iuliana cum sorore. Dulcis amor! Refl. Qui te caret hoc tempore, fit vilior. Ecce florescunt arbores, lascive canunt volucres; inde tepescunt virgines. Dulcis amor! Refl. Qui te caret hoc tempore, fit vilior. Ecce florescunt lilia, et virginum dant agmina summo deorum carmina. Dulcis amor! Refl. Qui te caret hoc tempore, fit vilior. Si tenerem, quam cupio, in nemore sub folio, oscularer cum gaudio. Dulcis amor! Refl. Qui te caret hoc tempore, fit vilior.
