Addat cum mihi Caecubum minister
Idaeo resolutior cinaedo,
Quo nec filia cultior nec uxor
Nec mater tua nec soror recumbit,
Vis spectem potius tuas lucernas
Aut citrum vetus Indicosque dentes?
Suspectus tibi ne tamen recumbam,
Praesta de grege sordidaque villa
Tonsos, horridulos, rudes, pusillos
Hircosi mihi filios subulci.
Perdet te dolor hic: habere, Publi,
Mores non potes hos et hos ministros.
