at lacrimans exclusus amator limina saepe floribus et sertis operit postisque superbos unguit amaracino et foribus miser oscula figit; quem si, iam ammissum, venientem offenderit aura una modo, causas abeundi quaerat honestas, et meditata diu cadat alte sumpta querella, stultitiaque ibi se damnet, tribuisse quod illi plus videat quam mortali concedere par est.
But the lover shut out, weeping, often covers the threshold with flowers and wreaths, anoints the proud doorposts with oil of marjoram, presses his love-sick kisses upon the door; but if he is let in, once he gets but one whiff as he comes, he would seek some decent excuse for taking his leave; there would be an end of the complaint so often rehearsed, so deeply felt, and he would condemn himself on the spot of folly, now he sees that he has attributed to her more than it is right to concede to a mortal.
