This book looks to be full of delights, with a lovely distich right on the first page, although most of the poems are tetrastichs, rather than distichs:

Mille oculos gerit illa, Cyclops hic errat: at uno
Plus oculo hic cernit: luscus an Argus erit?

Ad Iesum Felle Potatum
Tu tibi, non nobis, Iesu, fel triste bibisti:

This is a charming book; I won't find but a few distichs here although it is worth looking. Here's a nice little poem Ad Lectorem:

The Sebethus river flows through Campania into the sea between Naples and Herculaneum. This is a collection of 10 books of epigrams, mostly on the long side but I will find some nice distichs here for sure. For example, 1.89: Caesar allatum ad se Pompei caput flevit
Caesar ad abscissum Magni caput, indice fletu
Hoc doluit, manibus non periisse suis.

I should be able to find some intriguing distich poetry here!
