Gaius hanc lucem gemma mihi Julius alba
signat, io, votis redditus ecce meis.
Desperasse juvat veluti jam rupta sororum
fila; minus gaudent qui timuere nihil.
Hypne, quid expectas, piger? Immortale Falernum
funde, senem poscunt talia vota cadum:
quincunces et sex cyathos besemque bibamus,
"Gaius" ut fiat "Julius" et "Proculus."
