The love song of a man. The third and fourth lines have so far defied analysis.


VENI, VENI, VENIAS


Veni, veni, venias,
ne me mori facias,
hyrca, hyrce, nazara;
trilirivos.

Pulchra tibi facies,
oculorum acies,
capillorum series;
o quam clara species!

Rosa rubicundior,
Lilio candidior,
omnibus formosior;
semper in te glorior!

Come, come, please come, don't make me die, hyrca, hyrce, nazara, trilirivos.

Beautiful is your face, the glance of your eyes, the tresses of your hair; oh how beautiful is your appearance!

You are redder than the rose, brighter than the lily, more beautiful than all; you are my constant pride!
