Alcime, quem raptum domino crescentibus annis
Labicana leui caespite uelat humus,
accipe non Pario nutantia pondera saxo,
quae cineri uanus dat ruitura labor,
sed faciles buxos et opacas palmitis umbras
quaeque uirent lacrimis roscida prata meis
accipe, care puer, nostri monimenta doloris:
hic tibi perpetuo tempore uiuet honor.
Cum mihi supremos Lachesis perneuerit annos,
non aliter cineres mando iacere meos.
