Supremas tibi triciens in anno
signanti tabulas, Charine, misi
Hyblaeis madidas thymis placentas.
Defeci: miserere iam, Charine:
signa rarius, aut semel fac illud,
mentitur tua quod subinde tussis.
Excussi loculosque sacculumque:
Croeso diuitior licet fuissem,
Iro pauperior forem, Charine,
si conchem totiens meam comesses.
