| | | DO ye mock me, wantons, that I come among ye | |
| Drunken, bedecked with garlands, | |
| Like a white, sacrificial bull? | |
| Laugh, then! | |
| So Cypris, laughing, shake one petal down | 5 |
| From her rose-braided hair! | |
| Honeyed with kisses, be profuse | |
| The glowing purple that brims up this gold! | |
| Laugh then, and mock, but kiss me: for what man | |
| Would come among ye sober? | 10 |
| Wise, I come, | |
| Borne on Silenus’ ass to praise Eros. | | | | |
