CLAVDIA SAEPE ROGAS (ADVMBRATIO SECVNDA)

CLAVDIA SAEPE ROGAS, CLAVDENTES VNDE ORIANTVR
     VERSVS, CVR MVSAE VERSER IN ARTE LEVIS.
TV MIHI FIS CAVSAE RELIGANS MANANTIA AD ALNVM
     STRAGVLA CVM LALLAS, GAVDET ET OMNE NEMVS


Claudia, you often ask where my limping verses come from;
     why I engage in the art of a trivial muse.
You become their cause then, when, fastening the dripping sheets 
     up to an alder, you sing, and the entire grove rejoices.
