Incipit:	Ecce, patet tensus ceci Cupidinis arcus; unde sagitta volans ardor amoris erit. Omnia vincit amor; cecus tamen errat ubique, quo sibi directum carpere nescit iter…
Explicit:	… Qui vult ergo sue carnis compescere flammam, arcum prevideat unde sagitta volat. Nullus ab innato valet hoc euadere morbo, sit nisi quod sola gracia curet eum [la fin manque]
