Vna est in nostris tua, Fidentine, libellis
pagina, sed certa domini signata figura,
quae tua traducit manifesto carmina furto.
Sic interpositus uillo contaminat uncto
urbica Lingonicus Tyrianthina bardocucullus,
sic Arrentinae uiolant crystallina testae,
sic niger in ripis errat cum forte Caystri,
inter Ledaeos ridetur coruus olores,
sic ubi multisona feruet sacer Atthide lucus,
inproba Cecropias offendit pica querelas.
Indice non opus est nostris nec iudice libris,
stat contra dicitque tibi tua pagina 'Fur es.'
