1 Mīlitat omnis amans, et habet sua castra Cupīdō;
. . .2 Attice, crēde mihī, mīlitat omnis amans.
3 quae bellō est habilis, Venerī quoque convenit aetās:
. . .4 turpe senex mīles, turpe senīlis amor.
5 quōs petiēre ducēs animōs in mīlite fortī,
. . .6 hōs petit in sociō bella puella virō:
7 pervigilant ambō, terrā requiescit uterque;
. . .8 ille forēs dominae servat, at ille ducis.
9 mīlitis officium longa est via: mitte puellam,
. . .10 strēnuus exemptō fīne sequētur amans;
11 ībit in adversōs montēs duplicātaque nimbō
. . .12 flūmina, congestās exteret ille nivēs,
13 nec freta pressūrus tumidōs causābitur Eurōs
. . .14 aptave verrendīs sīdera quaeret aquīs.
15 quis nisi vel mīles vel amans et frīgora noctis
. . .16 et densō mixtās perferet imbre nivēs?
17 mittitur infestōs alter speculātor in hostēs,
. . .18 in rīvāle oculōs alter, ut hoste, tenet.
19 ille gravēs urbēs, hic dūrae līmen amīcae
. . .20 obsidet; hic portās frangit, at ille forēs.
21 saepe sopōrātōs invādere prōfuit hostēs
. . .22 caedere et armātā vulgus inerme manū.
23 sīc fera Thrēiciī cecidērunt agmina Rhēsī,
. . .24 et dominum captī dēseruistis equī.
25 nempe marītōrum somnīs ūtuntur amantēs
. . .26 et sua sōpītīs hostibus arma movent:
27 custōdum transīre manūs vigilumque catervās
. . .28 mīlitis et miserī semper amantis opus.
29 Mars dubius, nec certa Venus: victīque resurgunt,
. . .30 quōsque negēs umquam posse iacēre, cadunt.
31 ergō dēsidiam quīcumque vocābat amōrem,
. . .32 dēsinat: ingeniī est experientis Amor.
