Parce meo , seu quis bona campi
seu colis umbrosi deuia montis ,
incolumem custos hunc mihi Amor.
Quis furor est, quae mens, densos indagine colles
Quidue iuuat furtim latebras ferarum
candidaque hamatis crura notare ? 10
ipsa ego per montes retia torta feram,
ipsa ego uelocis quaeram uestigia cerui
et demam celeri ferrea uincla .
Tunc , tunc siluae, si, lux mea, tecum 15
ante ipsas concubuisse plagas:
tunc licet ad casses, inlaesus abibit,
ne ueneris cupidae gaudia , aper.
Nunc sine me nulla Venus, sed ,
caste puer, casta retia tange : 20
et, quaecumque meo furtim subrepit ,
At tu studium concede parenti,
et celer in nostros ipse recurre sinus.
