"Ne tibi sim, mea lux, aeque iam fervida cura ac videor paucos ante fuisse dies, si quicquam tota commisi stulta iuventa cuius me fatear paenituisse magis, hesterna quam te solum quod nocte reliqui ardorem cupiens dissimulare meum."
— Sulpicia

My life, let me be no more to thee so hot a passion as few days ago methinks I was, if in my whole youth I have done any deed of folly of which I would own I have repented more, than leaving thee yesternight alone, through desire to hide the fire within me. — Elegidia, VI (tr. F. W. Cornish)
