O cui Tarpeias licuit contingere quercus
et meritas prima cingere fronde comas,
si sapis, utaris totis, Colline, diebus
extremumque tibi semper adesse putes.
Lanificas nulli tres exorare puellas
contigit: obseruant quem statuere diem.
Diuitior Crispo, Thrasea constantior ipso,
lautior et nitido sis Meliore licet:
nil adicit penso Lachesis, fusosque sororum
explicat et semper de tribus una secat.
