Ad Raphaelem Urbinatem
Urbinas, animes licet tabellas
Pictas, et superes manu priores:
Haud plane tamen os meam puellam
Potis reddere, nam quidem eleganter,
Quod vides oculis, manu reponis.
Sed me longe aliam facit Cupido
Leucem cernere, quam queas tueri
In tuis oculis, mihi recludit
Nam raras animi abditasque dotes,
Mores, ingenium, modestiamque,
Virtutesque, alias sinit Cupido
Tantum quas oculis videri amantum.
