QVID faculam praefers, Phileros, quae nil opus n.o.bis?

ibimus sic: lucet pectoris flamma satis: istam nam potis est uis saeua extinguere uenti, aut imber caelo candidus praecipitans: at contra hunc ignem Veneris, nisi si Venus ipsa, nullast quae possit uis alia opprimere.

Q. LVTATIVS CATVLVS

Cons. 102 B.C.

_47. Lost: A Heart_

AVFVGIT mi animus; credo, ut solet, ad Theotimum deuenit. sic est: perfugium illud habet.

_50. Terence corrupted by his Patrons_

DVM lasciuiam n.o.bilium et laudes fucosas pet.i.t, dum Africani uocem diuinam haurit auidis auribus, dum ad Philum se cenitare et Laelium pulchrum putat, dum se amari ab his concredit, crebro in Albanum uenit, suis postlatis rebus ad summam inopiam redactus est.

itaque ex conspectu omnium abit ut Graeciae in terram ultumam, mortuost Stymphali, Arcadiae in oppido: nil Publius Scipio profuit, nihil illei Laelius, nil Furius, tres per id tempus qui agitabant facile n.o.bilissumei: eorum ille opera ne domum quidem habuit conducticiam, saltem ut esset quo referret obitum domini seruolus.
