Varro, Sophocleo non infitiande cothurno
nec minus in Calabra suspiciende lyra,
differ opus nec te facundi scaena Catulli
detineat cultis aut elegia comis;
sed lege fumoso non aspernanda Decembri
carmina, mittuntur quae tibi mense suo:
commodius nisi forte tibi potiusque uidetur
Saturnalicias perdere, Varro, nuces.
