O fons Bandusiae, splendidior vitro,
dulci digne mero non sine floribus,
.rbl..cras donaberis haedo,
.rbl...rbl..cui frons turgida cornibus
primis et venerem et proelia destinat. .....rbl.......rbl.........5
frustra: nam gelidos inficiet tibi
.rbl..rubro sanguine rivos,
.rbl...rbl..lascivi suboles gregis.

.rbl..saxis unde loquaces
.....rbl.......rbl........rbl.......r.rbl.15
.rbl...rbl..lymphae desiliunt tuae.
