With her hands Andromacha, for sport,
those tender, playful little hands,
eager and excited, for my head
wove you, extraordinary gift.

Te Andromacha per ludum manu
lasciuola ac tenellula
capiti meo, trepidans libens
insolita plexit munera.

More quotes by Laevius

Of chest and body wasted everywhere;
Of mind devoid of sense and slow of pace;
With age o’ercome.

O Venus, who keeps love alive,
mother of longing and desire,
it is you who favors me,
your little maid servant,
and spends out a clam day
in front of me.
