Ad lapidem Torquatus habet praetoria quartum;
Ad quartum breve rus emit Otacilius.
Torquatus nitidas vario de marmore thermas
Extruxit; cucumam fecit Otacilius.
Disposuit daphnona suo Torquatus in agro;
Castaneas centum sevit Otacilius.
Consule Torquato vici fuit ille magister,
Non minor in tanto visus honore sibi.
Grandis ut exiguam bos ranam ruperat olim,
Sic, puto, Torquatus rumpet Otacilium.
