Praetorem pauper centum sestertia Gaurus
orabat cana notus amicitia,
dicebatque suis haec tantum desse trecentis,
ut posset domino plaudere iustus eques.
Praetor ait: "Scis me Scorpo Thalloque daturum,
atque utinam centum milia sola darem."
Ah! pudet ingratae, pudet ah! male diuitis arcae.
Quod non das equiti, uis dare, praetor, equo?
