Note 267 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
Fannia is the most attractive of these women. See Amorum, lib. i. pp. 4, 5, 13. Stella, the heroine of the Eridani, is touched with greater delicacy. Cinnama seems to have been a girl of the people. Pontano borrows for her the language of popular poetry (Amorum, i. 19).
Ipsa tibi dicat, mea lux, mea vita, meus flos, Liliolumque meum, basiolumque meum. Carior et gemmis, et caro carior auro, Tu rosa, tu violæ, tu mihi lævis onyx.
