525Plura locuturum timido Peneia cursu
526fugit cumque ipso verba inperfecta reliquit,
527tum quoque visa decens. Nudabant corpora venti,
528obviaque adversas vibrabant flamina vestes,
529et levis inpulsos retro dabat aura capillos,
530auctaque forma fuga est. Sed enim non sustinet ultra
531perdere blanditias iuvenis deus, utque monebat
532ipse Amor, admisso sequitur vestigia passu.
533Ut canis in vacuo leporem cum Gallicus arvo
534vidit, et hic praedam pedibus petit, ille salutem:
535alter inhaesuro similis iam iamque tenere
536sperat et extento stringit vestigia rostro,
537alter in ambiguo est, an sit conprensus, et ipsis
538morsibus eripitur tangentiaque ora relinquit:
539sic deus et virgo est hic spe celer, illa timore.
