Caelius and Quintius, the flower of the Veronese youth, madly in love with Aufilenus, madly in love with Aufilena—the one with the brother; the other with the sister. This is, as one would say, true brotherhood and sweet friendship. To whom shall I incline the more? Caelius, to you; for your single devotion to us was shown by its deeds, when the raging flame scorched my marrow. Be happy, Caelius, be potent in love.
