Quod mihi vix unus toto liber exeat anno,
Desidiae tibi sum, docte Potite, reus.
Iustius at quanto mirere, quod exeat unus,
Labantur toti cum mihi saepe dies.
Non resalutantis video nocturnus amicos,
Gratulor et multis, nemo, Potite, mihi.
Nunc ad luciferam signat mea gemma Dianam,
Nunc me prima sibi, nunc sibi quinta rapit.
Nunc consul praetorve tenet reducesque choreae,
Auditur toto saepe poeta die.
Sed nec causidico possis inpune negare,
Nec si te rhetor grammaticusve rogent.
Balnea post decumam lasso centumque petuntur
Quadrantes. Fiet quando, Potite, liber?
