Inscriptions

NOX. / Languida, dormitans hæc femina, Noctis imago est. / Sideribus vestes undiq(ue) picta suas. / Cingunte demissam Læthæa papavera frontem, / Et pueris iuxta membra sopore iacent. / Interea per nox ferali carmine bubo / Ingemit, et tot mussat in orbe quies. / Evigila è tenebris Anima, et dum cœlica versas, / Displiceat vitæ Nox scelerata tuæ.
