Quatenus Odrysios iam pax Romana triones
Temperat et tetricae conticuere tubae,
Hunc Marcellino poteris, Faustine, libellum
Mittere: iam chartis, iam vacat ille iocis.
Sed si parva tui munuscula quaeris amici
Commendare, ferat carmina nostra puer:
Non qualis Geticae satiatus lacte iuvencae
Sarmatica rigido ludit in amne rota,
Sed Mitylenaei roseus mangonis ephebus,
Vel non caesus adhuc matre iubente Lacon.
At tibi captivo famulus mittetur ab Histro,
Qui Tiburtinas pascere possit oves.
