Quaeris, quot mihi basiationes
tuae, Lesbia, sint satis superque.
quam magnus numerus Libyssae harenae
lasarpiciferis iacet Cyrenis
oraclum Iovis inter aestuosi............................5
et Batti veteris sacrum sepulcrum;
aut quam sidera multa, cum tacet nox, 
furtivos hominum vident amores:
tam te basia multa basiare
vesano satis et super Catullo est,..................10
quae nec pernumerare curiosi
possint nec mala fascinare lingua.
