O iucunda quies, primo cum testis amori affueram vestris conscius in lacrimis! o noctem meminisse mihi iucunda voluptas, o quotiens votis illa vocanda meis, cum te complexa morientem, Galle, puella vidimus et longa ducere verba mora! quamvis labentis premeret mihi somnus ocellos et mediis caelo Luna ruberet equis, non tamen a vestro potui secedere lusu: tantus in alternis vocibus ardor erat.
Gallus in love O delightful night, when I was there to witness your first hour of love and was a spectator as you both wept! What delightful pleasure for me to remember that night, a night how often to be invoked in my prayers, when I saw you, Gallus, swooning in your girls embrace and uttering each word in drawn-out delay! Although sleep weighed heavily on my drooping eyes and the blushing moon was driving her team across mid-heaven, yet I could not turn away from your dalliance: such passion animated the words that passed between you.
