LESBIA mi dicit semper male nec tacet umquam | 1 | LESBIA always speaks ill of me, and is always talking about me. |
de me: Lesbia me dispeream nisi amat. |
2 |
May I perish if Lesbia does not love me. |
quo signo? quia sunt totidem mea: deprecor illam | 3 | By what token? because it is just the same with me. I am perpetually crying out upon her, |
assidue, uerum dispeream nisi amo |
4 |
but may I perish if I do not love her. |
