Atria Pisonum stabant cum stemmate toto
et docti Senecae ter numeranda domus,
praetulimus tantis solum te, Postume, regnis:
pauper eras et eques, sed mihi consul eras.
Tecum ter denas numeraui, Postume, brumas:
communis nobis lectus et unus erat.
Iam donare potes, iam perdere, plenus honorum,
largus opum: expecto, Postume, quid facias.
Nil facis et serum est alium mihi quaerere regem.
Hoc, Fortuna, placet? "Postumus inposuit".
