Page 4 - At mecum raucis, tua dum vestigia lustro, sole sub ardenti resonant arbusta cicadis. Nonne fuit satius, tristes Amaryllidis iras atque superba pati fastidia? nonne Menalcan, 15 quamvis ille niger, quamvis tu candidus esses? O formose puer, nimium ne crede colori; alba ligustra cadunt, vaccinia nigra leguntur.

Page 104 - Alas ! what boots it with incessant care To tend the homely slighted shepherd's trade, And strictly meditate the thankless Muse? Were it not better done, as others use, To sport with Amaryllis in the shade Or with the tangles of Neaera's hair...
