ὄλβιος ὁ γράψας σε, καὶ ὄλβιος οὗτος ὁ κάλλει
— Paton edition
τῷ σῷ νικᾶσθαι κηρὸς ἐπιστάμενος.
θριπὸς ἐγὼ καὶ σύρμα τερηδόνος εἴθε γενοίμην,
ὡς ἀναπηδήσας τὰ ξύλα ταῦτα φάγω.
Blest is he who painted thee, and blest is this wax that knew how to be conquered by thy beauty. Would I could become a creeping wood-worm that I might leap up and devour this wood.
— Paton edition
Heureux qui a peint ton portrait ! Heureuse cette cire qui sait se laisser vaincre par ta beauté. Ah ! si j’étais une larve, un ver qui se tortille, pour sauter sur ce bois et le dévorer !
— R. Aubreton
