Haec tibi, non alia, est ad cenam causa uocandi,
uersiculos recites ut, Ligurine, tuos.
Deposui soleas, adfertur protinus ingens
inter lactucas oxygarumque liber:
alter perlegitur, dum fercula prima morantur:
tertius est, nec adhuc mensa secunda uenit:
et quartum recitas et quintum denique librum.
Putidus est, totiens si mihi ponis aprum.
Quod si non scombris scelerata poemata donas,
cenabis solus iam, Ligurine, domi.
