Lyrics Text

Hanc tua Penelope lento tibi mittit Ulysses,
Nil mihi rescribas, attamen ipse veni.
Troja jacet certe Danais invisa puellis,
Vix Priamus tanti totaque Troja fuit.
O utinam tunc cum Lacedæmona classe petebat,
Obrutus insanis esset adulter aquis :
Non ego deserto jacuissem frigida lecto,
Nec quererer tardos ire relicta dies
