Cum tibi non Ephesos nec sit Rhodos aut Mitylene,
Sed domus in vico, Laelia, patricio,
Deque coloratis numquam lita mater Etruscis,
Durus Aricina de regione pater;
KÊriš mou, mšli mou, cuxÆ mou congeris usque,
— Pro pudor! — Hersiliae civis et Egeriae.
Lectulus has voces, nec lectulus audiat omnis,
Sed quem lascivo stravit amica viro.
Scire cupis quo casta modo matrona loquaris?
Numquid, cum crisas, blandior esse potes?
Tu licet ediscas totam referasque Corinthon,
Non tamen omnino, Laelia, Lais eris.
