“Young love is errant, but it needs to get around;
The time and practice make it strong and sound.
That bull you fear, you petted when it wasn't big;
What now you sleep beneath was once a twig.
That little stream, in gaining waters as it goes,
Grows stronger, till at last a river flows.”
Dum novus errat amor, vires sibi colligat usu:
Si bene nutrieris, tempore firmus erit.
Quem taurum metuis, vitulum mulcere solebas:
Sub qua nunc recubas arbore, virga fuit:
Nascitur exiguus, sed opes adquirit eundo,
Quaque venit, multas accipit amnis aquas.

Book II, lines 339–344 (tr. Len Krisak)
