De eadem Virgin. Ac Mart.

Epig.

Quis tandem in teneras furor est saevire papillas?       Cum spernit saevas Virgo tenella manus. En quod secta duplex in Virgine syllaba¹ reddit,       Impie² si nescis Ubera secta docent.

In the title: This poem is also about St. Agatha. ¹ Here, this means ‘verses,’ though it can also mean ‘syllable’ or ‘letter.’ This poem is self-referential in that it is through the power of poetry that St. Agatha is restored. ² Impie is vocative.
