Rufe, uides illum subsellia prima terentem,
cuius et hinc lucet sardonychata manus
quaeque Tyron totiens epotauere lacernae
et toga non tactas uincere iussa niues,
cuius olet toto pinguis coma Marcelliano
et splendent uolso bracchia trita pilo,
non hesterna sedet lunata lingula planta,
coccina non laesum pingit aluta pedem,
et numerosa linunt stellantem splenia frontem.
Ignoras quid sit? Splenia tolle, leges.
