Iām īnvītus amēns velīt cachīnnos Ēt cēnām sine mē; fugīt amōrem. Cēdēs āb pietā favēsque pāppo. Nōn crēdīs mihi aut amōri, Pōlla? Dā mē aut rapiō amōris ōmnem English Translation: I love you
Now the unwilling lover would like laughter And dinner without me; she flees from my love. You will go away from my devotion and give favor to that old man. Do you not trust me or my love, Polla? Give it to me or I take all of your love.
