numquam aliud natura, aliud sapientia dicit,
acribus exemplis videor te eludere? misce
ergo aliquid nostris de moribus, effice summam
bis septem ordinibus quam lex dignatur Othonis,
haec quoque si rugam trahit extenditque labellum,
sume duos equites, fac tertia quadringenta
si nondum inplevi gremium, si panditur ultra,
nec Croesi fortuna umquam nec Persica regna
sufficient animo nec divitiae Narcissi,
indulsit Caesar cui Claudius omnia, cuius
paruit imperiis uxorem occidere iussus.
