εἰ μὴ τόξον Ἔρως, μηδὲ πτερά, μηδὲ φαρέτραν,
μηδὲ πυριβλήτους εἶχε πόθων ἀκίδας,
οὐκ, αὐτὸν τὸν πτανὸν ἐπόμνυμαι, οὔποτ᾽ ἂν ἔγνως
ἐκ μορφᾶς τίς ἔφυ Ζωίλος ἢ τίς Ἔρως.

Si Éros n’avait l’arc, les ailes et le carquois, s’il n’avait les traits de flammes des Désirs, non, par le dieu ailé lui-même, je le jure, tu n’aurais su reconnaître, aux formes de leur corps, qui est Zoïle, qui est Éros.

— R. Aubreton

Se Éros não tivesse o arco, nem as asas ou a aljava, tampouco as incendiárias flechas dos desejos, eu juro pelo próprio alado que você jamais saberia, partindo do formato corporal, quem é Zoilos ou quem é Éros.

— Luiz Capelo

If Love had neither bow, nor wings, nor quiver, nor the barbed arrows of desire dipped in fire, never, I swear it by the winged boy himself, couldst thou tell from their form which is Zoilus and which is Love.
