Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus, rumoresque senum severiorum omnes aestimemus assis. soles occidere et redire possunt; nobis cum occidit brevis lux, nox est perpetua una dormienda. da basia mille, deinde centum, dein mille altera, dein secunda centum, deinde usque altera mille, deinde centum. dein, cum milia fecerimus, conturbabimus illa, ne sciamus, aut ne quis malus possit, cum tantum sciat esse basiorum.

Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus, rumoresque senum severiorum omnes unius aestimemus assis. soles occidere et redire possunt; nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux, nox est perpetua una dormienda. da mi basia mille, deinde centum, dein mille altera, dein secunda centum, deinde usque altera mille, deinde centum. dein, cum milia multa fecerimus, conturbabimus illa, ne sciamus, aut ne quis malus invidere possit, cum tantum sciat esse basiorum.
Let us live, my Lesbia, and let us love, and let us value all the talk of stern old men at just one penny. Suns can set and return again; for us, once our brief light has set, an eternal night must be slept. Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred, then another thousand, then a second hundred, then yet another thousand, then a hundred. Then, when we have kissed many thousands, we’ll mix them all up, so we don’t know, and so no one can envy us, for only we will know how many kisses there have been.
