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.
