Quis, rogo, tam durus, quis tam fuit ille superbus,
Qui iussit fieri te, Theopompe, cocum?
Hanc aliquis faciem nigra violare culina
Sustinet, has uncto polluit igne comas?
Quis potius cyathos aut quis crystalla tenebit?
Qua sapient melius mixta Falerna manu?
Si tam sidereos manet exitus iste ministros,
Iuppiter utatur iam Ganymede coco.
