MYTILENA ego ortus Pittacus sum Lesbius,
γίνωσκε καιρὸν qui docui sententiam.
set iste καιρόσ, tempus ut noris, monet
et esse καιρόν, tempestivum quod vocant.
Romana sic et est vox: veni in tempore.2
vester quoque iste comicus Terentius
rerum omnium esse primum tempus autumat,
ad Antiphilam quom venerat servus Dromo 3
nullo inpeditam, temporis servans vicem.
reputate cuncti, quotiens offensam incidat,
spectata cui non fuerit opportunitas.
Tempus monet, ne sim molestus, plaudite.
