Iam parce lasso, Roma, gratulatori,
Lasso clienti. Quamdiu salutator
Anteambulones et togatulos inter
Centum merebor plumbeos die toto,
Cum Scorpus una quindecim graves hora
Ferventis auri victor auferat saccos?
Non ego meorum praemium libellorum
— Quid enim merentur? — Apulos velim campos:
Non Hybla, non me spicifer capit Nilus,
Nec quae paludes delicata Pomptinas
Ex arce clivi spectat uva Setini.
Quid concupiscam quaeris ergo? dormire.
