Quidquid agit Rufus, nihil est nisi Naeuia Rufo.
Si gaudet, si flet, si tacet, hanc loquitur.
Cenat, propinat, poscit, negat, innuit: una est
Naeuia; si non sit Naeuia, mutus erit.
Scriberet hesterna patri cum luce salutem,
'Naeuia lux' inquit 'Naeuia lumen, haue.'
Haec legit et ridet demisso Naeuia uultu.
Naeuia non una est: quid, uir inepte, furis?
