Vis commendari sine me cursurus in urbem,
parue liber, multis? An satis unus erit?
Vnus erit, mihi crede, satis, cui non eris hospes,
Iulius, adsiduum nomen in ore meo.
Protinus hunc primae quaeres in limine Tectae:
quos tenuit Daphnis, nunc tenet ille lares.
Est illi coniunx, quae te manibusque sinuque
excipiet, tu uel puluerulentus eas.
Hos tu seu pariter siue hanc illumue priorem
uideris, hoc dices "Marcus hauere iubet",
et satis est. Alios commendet epistola: peccat
qui commendandum se putat esse suis.
