Mollia quod nivei duro teris ore Galaesi
basia, quod nudo cum Ganymede jaces,
—quis negat?—hoc nimium'st. Sed sit satis; inguina saltem
parce fututrici sollicitare manu.
Levibus in pueris plus haec quam mentula peccat
et faciunt digiti praecipitantque virum:
inde tragus celeresque pili mirandaque matri
barba, nec in clara balnea luce placent.
Divisit natura marem: pars una puellis,
una viris genita est. Utere parte tua.
