Argiletanas mavis habitare tabernas,
Cum tibi, parve liber, scrinia nostra vacent.
Nescis, heu, nescis dominae fastidia Romae:
Crede mihi, nimium Martia turba sapit.
Maiores nusquam rhonchi: iuvenesque senesque
Et pueri nasum rhinocerotis habent.
Audieris cum grande sophos, dum basia iactas,
Ibis ab excusso missus in astra sago.
Sed tu ne totiens domini patiare lituras
Neve notet lusus tristis harundo tuos,
Aetherias, lascive, cupis volitare per auras:
I, fuge; sed poteras tutior esse domi.
