Ad Phyllidem (n.d.)

Ad Phyllidem
Saepè mei cupido te incensam ostendis amore, 1
designans mira tempus et arte locum.
Non tamen ipsa venis, fallax dum labitur hora. 2
Improba segnities! Haec mora, non amor est.
[p174]
To Phyllis
Often you promise yourself to me, aflame with passionate desire, assigning a time and place with wonderful cunning. Yet you do not come when the deceitful hour itself falls. Shameless sloth! This delaying is not love.
