Argiletanas mauis habitare tabernas,
cum tibi, parue liber, scrinia nostra uacent.
Nescis, heu, nescis dominae fastidia Romae:
crede mihi, nimium Martia turba sapit.
Maiores nusquam rhonchi: iuuenesque 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
neue notet lusus tristis harundo tuos,
aetherias, lasciue, cupis uolitare per auras:
i, fuge; sed poteras tutior esse domi.
