"Pinge, precor, pictor, tali candore puellam, Qualem pinxit Amor, qualem meus ignis anhelat. Nil pingendo neges; tegat omnia Serica vestis, Quae totum prodat tenui velamine corpus. Te quoque pulset amor, crucient pigmenta medullas: Si bonus es pictor, miseri suspiria pinge."

"Dic quid agis, formosa Venus, si nescis amanti Ferre vicem. Perit omne decus, dum deperit aetas. Marcent post rorem violae, rosa perdit odorem, Lilia post vernum posito candore nigrescunt. Haec metuas exempla precor et semper amanti Redde vicem, quia semper amat, qui semper amatur."

"Non redit in florem, sed munus perdit amantis, Quidquid vile jacet: dulce est, quodcumque negatur. Nam si formosam facilem penetravit amator, Fallit adulterio et munus perdit amantis."
