Hos tibi, Phoebe, uouet totos a uertice crines
Encolpos, domini centurionis amor,
grata Pudens meriti tulerit cum praemia pili.
Quam primum longas, Phoebe, recide comas,
dum nulla teneri sordent lanugine uoltus
dumque decent fusae lactea colla iubae;
utque tuis longum dominusque puerque fruantur
muneribus, tonsum fac cito, sero uirum.
