Tibi, summe Rheni domitor et parens orbis,
Pudice princeps, gratias agunt urbes:
Populos habebunt; parere iam scelus non est.
Non puer avari sectus arte mangonis
Virilitatis damna maeret ereptae,
Nec quam superbus conputet stipem leno,
Dat prostituto misera mater infanti.
Qui nec cubili fuerat ante te quondam,
Pudor esse per te coepit et lupanari.
