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.

Claudia, you often ask me where my limping verses come from./ Without you, my Muse won't sing.
