Capto tuam, pudet heu, sed capto, Maxime, cenam,
tu captas aliam: iam sumus ergo pares.
Mane salutatum uenio, tu diceris isse
ante salutatum: iam sumus ergo pares.
Sum comes ipse tuus tumidique anteambulo regis,
tu comes alterius: iam sumus ergo pares.
Esse sat est seruum, iam nolo uicarius esse.
Qui rex est regem, Maxime, non habeat.
