Vri Tongilius male dicitur hemitritaeo.
Noui hominis fraudes: esurit atque sitit.
Subdola tenduntur crassis nunc retia turdis,
hamus et in mullum mittitur atque lupum.
Caecuba saccentur quaeque annus coxit Opimi,
condantur parco fusca Falerna uitro.
omnes Tongilium medici iussere lauari:
o stulti, febrem creditis esse? Gula est.
