Obstat, care Pudens, nostris sua turba libellis
lectoremque frequens lassat et implet opus.
Rara iuuant: primis sic maior gratia pomis,
hibernae pretium sic meruere rosae;
sic spoliatricem commendat fastus amicam
ianua nec iuuenem semper aperta tenet.
Saepius in libro numeratur Persius uno
quam leuis in tota Marsus Amazonide.
Tu quoque de nostris releges quemcumque libellis,
esse puta solum: sic tibi pluris erit.
