Non dixi, Coracine, te cinaedum:
non sum tam temerarius nec audax
nec mendacia qui loquar libenter.
Si dixi, Coracine, te cinaedum,
iratam mihi Pontiae lagonam,
iratum calicem mihi Metili:
iuro per Syrios tibi tumores,
iuro per Berecyntios furores.
Quid dixi tamen? Hoc leue et pusillum,
quod notum est, quod et ipse non negabis:
dixi te, Coracine, cunnilingum.
