Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
If anything pleasing or acceptable to silent sepulchers is able to be done by our grief, Calvus, by this longing we renew old loves and we lament once sent away friendships. Certainly a premature death is not of such sadness to Quintilia, so much as she rejoices in your love.	Sī quicquam mūtīs grātum acceptumque sepulcrīs accidere ā nostrō, Calve, dolōre potest, quō dēsīderiō veterēs renovāmus amōrēs atque ōlim missās flēmus amīcitiās, certē nōn tantō mors immātūra dolōrī est Quīntiliae, quantum gaudet amōre tuō.	96.1 96.2 96.3 96.4 96.5 96.6
