Argenti genus omne conparasti,
et solus ueteres Myronos artes,
solus Praxitelus manum Scopaeque,
solus Phidiaci toreuma caeli,
solus Mentoreos habes labores.
Nec desunt tibi uera Gratiana
nec quae Callaico linuntur auro
nec mensis anaglypta de paternis.
Argentum tamen inter omne miror
quare non habeas, Charine, purum.
